We collaborate with ten centers and multiple independent programs, clinicians, scientists, and specialists to perform interdisciplinary research, training, and education across the United States and around the globe.



From evidence-based practices to findings in research that incorporates multiple scientific perspectives, the PRC works to implement and disseminate knowledge to the consumer, the clinician, and the researcher in the classroom and in the field.
