The Center for Neuropsychological and Psychological Assessment (CNAP) at Kennedy Krieger Institute boasts a robust clinical research program.
Faculty members in CNaP are engaged in research projects funded by national organizations such as the NIH, FDA, and the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), and by local and national foundations. These studies engage collaborators across Kennedy Krieger, Johns Hopkins and external sites and cover a very broad range of topics, but all are in the service of understanding and managing the neurodevelopmental conditions that affect children. These ongoing projects often represent rich research opportunities for trainees.
In addition, faculty and staff members in CNaP participate in clinical research and quality improvement projects that make use, with appropriate approval and protections in place, of the extensive data collected in the course of clinical care. Trainees frequently are involved in these projects, often presenting their findings at conferences or in the form of manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals. See the list of department publications for examples of publications by recent trainees.
