VKC Conversation Series on Research in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: Understanding How Research Works
Monday, Nov. 8, 5:30-6:30 p.m. CT
Research can be complicated, especially to those of us who don’t work in a hospital or a lab. Where do ideas for research come from? Why does it seem to take so long? What are all the steps between a theory and the authorized availability of a new pharmaceutical or intervention technique?
During this conversation, VKC researchers will discuss these questions and more, from the process through which potential new medicines are identified to the study and implementation of community interventions research. The presenters will also answer questions from the viewing audience in real time.
Presenters:
- Jeff Neul, M.D., Ph.D., Annette Schaffer Eskind Chair and Director, Vanderbilt Kennedy Center; Professor of Pediatrics, Division of Neurology, Pharmacology, and Special Education
- Paul Newhouse, M.D., Jim Turner Professor of Cognitive Disorders; Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Pharmacology, and Medicine; Director, Vanderbilt Center for Cognitive Medicine
- Ann Kaiser, Ph.D., Susan Gray Chair in Education and Human Development; Professor of Special Education and Psychology
- Julie Lounds Taylor, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences
