The Vanderbilt Kennedy Center and the Mental Retardation Research Centers.

Alexander, Duane

Peabody Journal of Education, v71 n4 p22-24 1996

The Kennedy Center at Peabody College of Vanderbilt University is one of 12 Mental Retardation Research Centers (MRRCs) constructed by the federal government. Several major discoveries in mental retardation have come from MRCCs. The Kennedy Center is unique in its focus on education integrated with a university and medical school environment, which leads to an interdisciplinary research approach. (SM)
