Human Development Institute Research & Evaluation Statement

For 50 years, the Human Development Institute (HDI) has served the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the region, and the nation as a major leader in thought, policy, and science regarding the lived experiences of Americans with disabilities. Ongoing research projects of HDI generate important resources that build infrastructure and generate new knowledge to advance disciplines. Evaluation generates an understanding of the complex context within which many programs reside and provides meaningful information for program impact and sustainability. In collaboration with virtually every academic unit at UK and a vast network of external partners, HDI has developed a strong national and international reputation for research excellence.
