NYU Child Study Center

Description

From the website: The NYU Child Study Center offers science-based, research-driven psychiatric care to children and adolescents with learning, behavior and emotional disorders. Our research initiatives advance our understanding of the causes and treatments of child mental disorders, and these findings are then integrated into our clinical care to provide state-of-the-art service. Outreach programs translate scientific research into everyday skills for parents and educators and into practical applications for pediatricians and mental health professionals around the country. Advanced training efforts prepare the next generation of mental health professionals to meet the demands of a complex and expanding field and help ensure that tomorrow’s children will continue to benefit from the translation of research into advanced clinical care and effective treatments. To support this model, the Center is built around a group of research Institutes with associated clinical arms, a structure that allows us to serve a patient population, recruit patients for research studies and provide “real-world” testing for successful controlled-environment findings. Since its founding in 1997, the Center has published over 400 peer-reviewed journal articles and made thousands of presentations at national and international scientific meetings. Starting with a total research portfolio of under $1 million with all research focused on ADHD, the Center currently has $40 million in research grants in seven different areas.
