Integrating Special Populations Resource (ISP)
The Integrating Special Populations (ISP) Resource fosters research collaborations within and across four special populations: pediatrics (infants, children, and young adults), geriatrics (65 years or older), rare diseases (as defined by NIH, a rare disease affects fewer than 200,000 people in the US or one in 1,500), and HIV. The goal is to provide expertise necessary to study diseases across the lifespan, utilize rare diseases as tools to study more common diseases, increase the dissemination of results, and create culturally sensitive engagement, recruitment, and educational tools to facilitate ISP-based research in upper Manhattan.
