This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The University of Iowa has been designated a Huntington's Disease (HD) Center for Excellence by the Huntington's Disease Society of America (HDSA). HDSA Centers of Excellence for Family Services and Research are medical facilities that have been recognized by HDSA as having expertise in Huntington's disease. HDSA Centers provide a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of this complex, relentlessly progressive disease. Services include, but are not limited to, neurology, psychiatry, speech, physical and occupational therapys, genetic counseling and genetic testing as well as social work and regional referrals. The success of HDSA's Centers of Excellence program has been unparalleled. The Huntington's Disease Center of Excellence is the newest model for enhancing clinical research, formed to conduct basic and clinical research in a coordinated manner. A centralized location for Center activities is critical in making this coordination possible. Combining medical services with research opportunities serves as an efficient approach to this complex disease, for which no effective treatment currently exists. As the Centers develop it is expected that an increase in the number of clinical trials will follow, enhancing efforts at finding ways to slow down disease progression, and ultimately finding a cure.

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 爱荷华大学被美国亨廷顿舞蹈病协会 (HDSA) 指定为亨廷顿舞蹈病 (HD) 卓越中心。 HDSA 家庭服务和研究卓越中心是 HDSA 认可的在亨廷顿舞蹈病方面具有专业知识的医疗机构。 HDSA 中心提供多学科方法来治疗这种复杂的、不断进展的疾病。 服务包括但不限于神经病学、精神病学、言语、物理和职业治疗、遗传咨询和基因检测以及社会工作和区域转诊。 HDSA 卓越中心计划的成功是无与伦比的。 亨廷顿病卓越中心是加强临床研究的最新模式，旨在以协调的方式开展基础和临床研究。 中心活动的集中地点对于实现这种协调至关重要。 将医疗服务与研究机会相结合是治疗这种目前尚无有效治疗方法的复杂疾病的有效方法。 随着中心的发展，预计临床试验的数量将随之增加，从而加大寻找减缓疾病进展的方法的力度，并最终找到治愈方法。
