Current Projects
We collaborate with both internal and external partners on grants which bring increased interprofessional opportunities and services to UNE’s students, faculty, professional staff, and the community.
HRSA Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities
The goal of the HRSA Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) initiative is to train healthcare providers, parents, educators, and others to improve the health of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (ND).
Training in Aging Diversity
The Training in Aging Diversity (TRIAD) project is a training-in-place program for graduate-level clinical social work students, designed and led by UNE’s School of Social Work. TRIAD will reach people of all ages, but its primary population focus is Maine’s older adults.
