The HRSA Maternal and Children Health Leadership Education in Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics program enhances the behavioral, psychosocial and developmental aspects of general pediatric care by supporting fellows in behavioral pediatrics to help prepare them for leadership roles as teachers, researchers, and clinicians.
The National Interdisciplinary Training Resource Center will play a crucial role in providing technical assistance, building and sustaining partnerships with service systems already serving children with ASD and other developmental disabilities, translating research into evidence-based practice, and utilizing existing and developing new data systems to capture and report project outcomes.
