We have so many wonderful community partners who go above and beyond to work with us on research studies, assist with community events or workshops, and serve families in the local area. The CYDI Community Partner Spotlight is an opportunity to recognize exceptional organizations or people that demonstrate outstanding dedication to helping our communities thrive and supporting the research of the CYDI.
 
Yearly a new community partner will be selected for this award. To show our appreciation, awardees will receive a gift and be featured on our CYDI website and social media platforms.
