Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities

The Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities in the UNC School of Medicine was established July of 2007 to provide the citizens of North Carolina with world class services, research, and training for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. The Institute is one of only a small number of comprehensive centers for developmental disabilities in the United States that bring together three federally-funded programs of national significance – the UCEDD, LEND, and IDDRC programs. The over-arching aim of the Institute is to provide cutting-edge services, research, and clinical and research training to benefit individuals with developmental disabilities and their families and to play an important role in and planning for services, education, and research on developmental disabilities in the state of NC.
