The Nathan S. Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research (NKI) is one of only two New York State-funded research institutions and is internationally known for its pioneering contributions to psychiatric research. NYU Child Study Center Founding Director, Harold S. Koplewicz, M.D., was appointed to serve as its Executive Director in May 2006 by Governor Pataki and the Commissioner of the New York State Office of Mental Health.

The NYU Child Study Center is integrating its superlative research programs with NKI's ongoing programs, which address such devastating disorders as schizophrenia, major mood disorders, Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Together, we will examine the epidemiology and treatment of some of the most severe psychiatric
disorders over the entire human lifespan.

NKI researchers, some of whom are NYU faculty members, also provide outstanding research training to the next generation of child and adolescent psychiatrists in our psychiatry residency program.
