Behavior Navigator

The Behavior Navigator offers services to researchers at UNC Chapel Hill conducting clinical studies, particularly researchers without extensive experience conducting clinical research. These services are offered as part of the Clinical Translation Core at UNC’s Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (IDDRC). Heather Hazlett, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, serves as the UNC IDDRC Behavior Navigator, bringing expertise in clinical neuropsychology and intellectual and developmental disabilities. As the Behavior Navigator, Dr. Hazlett can assist with:

  • The design of clinical studies examining intellectual and developmental disabilities
  • The development of clinical teams
  • Selection and interpretation of diagnostic, symptom, and neuropsychological measures
  • Practical aspects of research (e.g., hiring experts and staff to conduct data collection for investigators who are not themselves experts in behavioral measurement)

All publications and presentations that include assistance from the UNC IDDRC should acknowledge this support using this language: “Assistance for this project was provided by the UNC Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (NICHD; P50 HD103573).”
