The Vanderbilt Kennedy Center has evolved into an interdisciplinary research, training, diagnosis and treatment institute, embracing faculty and resources available through Vanderbilt University Medical Center, the College of Arts and Science, and Peabody College. The Center brings together scientists and practitioners in behavior, education, genetics and neuroscience to work together in unique ways to solve the mysteries of development and learning.

The Kennedy Center development team seeks to engage the community in supporting the mission and vision of this center for research, education and care.
