The Research Domain Criteria Initiative (or RDoC) project, "Executive Function Across Pediatric Psychiatric Disorders," is a collaboration between CASD and Georgetown University's Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory (DCNL). RDoC is a part of a new research initiative, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, to better understand the brain science behind the varying types and degrees of behaviors we see in those with neuropsychological disorders. The project is studying executive function skills, such as attention, memory, and learning, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

If you are interested in participating in the RDoC project: Please contact Charlotte Jeppsen at 301-765-5425 or cljeppsen@childrensnational.org.
