Abstract
As a major funder of research on intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), NIH has a broad view of the profound impact of cultural and structural barriers on the characteristics of IDD study populations and the composition of the IDD research workforce. While long overdue, multiple efforts are currently underway across NIH aimed at addressing these barriers and increasing meaningful representation in biomedical and behavioral research.
