CORE A Going FON/VARD的主要目标将是为马萨诸塞大学医学院的教职员工及其合作者扩大机会，以追求与RFA HD-09-012中概述的NICHD优先事项相关的研究和研究培训方面的卓越计划。 我们之前的目标是通过整合UMMS的 与以前独立的MRDDRC和UCEDD方案一起的方案主要位于施莱弗中心。这一长达十年的过程现在基本上已经完成。UMMS的IDD中心现在是一个看得见的现实，而不仅仅是一个诱人的可能性。由于我们已经建立了必要的中央大学支持和合作伙伴关系，我们现在已经准备好充分利用我们的大学之家及其临床合作伙伴马萨诸塞大学医学中心的出色资源。因此，人们还可以将我们的主要目标概念化为尽可能快速、高效和完全地做到这一点。

The primary objective of Core A going fon/vard will be to expand opportunities for the faculty of the University of Massachusetts Medical School and their collaborators to pursue programs of excellence in research and research training that are relevant to the NICHD priorities outlined in RFA HD-09-012. Our previous objective was to create what is in essence a new IDD Center at UMMS by integrating its programs with those of formerly free-standing MRDDRC and UCEDD programs located mainly at the Shriver Center. That decade-long process is now virtually complete. The IDD Center at UMMS is now a visible reality rather than merely an attractive possibility. Because we have established the necessary central university supports and partnerships, we are now positioned to take full advantage of the outstanding resources of our university home and its clinical partner, the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. Thus, one might also conceptualize our primary objective as doing that as rapidly, efficiently, and completely as possible.
