Department Summary
This position will reside in the Center for Human Development (CHD), a research and outreach unit within the College of Education. CHD has been in existence since 1972 and houses the University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD) and research and outreach in Early Intervention (EI). Faculty and staff within CHD engage in research, scholarship, personnel preparation, technical assistance and outreach to support effective systems for individuals with disabilities, their families, and the professionals that serve them. These activities are carried out by 6 Ph.D. level scientists, technology and administrative support staff, experts in research methodology, and two professors of practice who help to ensure that center activities are translated into practice. CHD also receives direction and support from a Community Advisory Council comprised of self-advocates, family members, and professionals who work to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities through policy, advocacy, and systems change. All CHD activities are supported by a grants management unit (DESTNY GMU), which provides pre-award support for state and federal funding applications, post-award support for staffing, and the necessary supports for managing the fiscal and reporting requirements of externally funded projects.
