At the Rose F. Kennedy (RFK) UCEDD, our research and
evaluation aims to improve the health, functioning, and community inclusion of persons
with developmental disabilities. With a foundation in the multidisciplinary Children’s
Evaluation and Rehabilitation Center (CERC), projects are grounded in clinical
experience. Persons with developmental disabilities help design, implement, and
develop projects.
Our research and evaluation portfolio spans clinical, community,
and policy initiatives. This breadth supports a focus on the social
determinants of health. Our portfolio reflects
the needs and voices of the diverse populations served at RFK CERC, throughout the
Bronx, and beyond. An active Community Advisory Committee provides input and
support.
