RESEARCH

With ith a commitment to increase services and resources for clients, as well as to demonstrate the effectiveness of treatment, CDTC has a distinguished history of participation in nationally recognized research. The Center’s Research Program is the only-non university site for pediatric clinical trials in the country funded by the National Institutes of Health. This research focuses on two high risk populations: medically fragile infants with perinatal complications or chronic illnesses, including infants, children and youth with HIV. In 2006 alone, CDTC participated in over 40 research protocols addressing HIV/AIDS in children and adolescents, as well as studies relating to the long term effects of perinatal complications.
