CPERL Receives Colorado Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CCTSI) Funding

The CCTSI proposal was co-written with esteemed colleagues in the Denver Metro area and was 1 of 12 proposals reviewed for pilot funding in this round. Their proposal was titled "Linking Colorado Part C Early Intervention Service Eligibility, Utilization, and Functional Outcomes for Infants and Toddlers with Developmental Disabilities and Delays". Mary Khetani and the CPERL team obtained close to $34,000 to rigorously examine links between Part C early intervention service use and functional outcomes, including performance of everyday tasks and participation in the home environment. CCTSI is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
