Is the UC Davis M.I.N.D. Institute primarily a research institute?
Yes, the M.I.N.D. Institute is primarily a research institute. The ultimate goal is to find the cause, effective treatments and ultimately cures for neurodevelopmental disorders. This means that we need to keep focused on the research that will help us accomplish this. Having a clinic helps us do this, but it is not our primary goal. Education and dissemination of information are also important to assure that our research is broadly implemented, but it is also not our primary purpose.
