Kennedy Krieger Institute

Kennedy Krieger Institute is a nonprofit organization based in Baltimore, Maryland, focused on supporting people with developmental disabilities and related conditions through patient care, research, education, and community programs. Its Interactive Autism Network (IAN) Research Project Archive preserves selected articles from the former IAN community website, keeping information about autism and the project accessible to families, researchers, and the public. The archive includes material on autism research, diagnosis, therapies, sensory experiences, and family perspectives. It is not a complete collection, and some articles may lack original links or images or use terminology that is no longer current.

The IAN research project closed on June 30, 2019, and no longer accepts participants or applications for subject recruitment assistance. The archive notes that U.S. residents interested in research participation can consider SPARK, while others may seek a local research registry. Researchers may request limited access to IAN’s de-identified data set. Beyond the archive, Kennedy Krieger offers clinical, educational, research, and community resources, including patient referrals, training, and support for families.
