About The Nicholas Hobbs Society
Forty years ago, Nicholas Hobbs, Ph.D., envisioned a center focusing on research related to human development and developmental issues. A pioneer in furthering our understanding of human development, he was founding director of the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center.
The Nicholas Hobbs Society, made up of donors who give $1,000 or more annually to the Center or one of its programs, recognizes the exceptional position of the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center as a leader in unlocking the mysteries of development and learning. Through gifts and volunteer resources, Nicholas Hobbs Society members advance groundbreaking research in human development.
The Promise of a Better Future
The promise of a better future for people with developmental disabilities hinges on the success of scientific research.
By "investing" in discovery grants, Nicholas Hobbs Society members provide seed money for new innovative research projects.
As scientists continue to unlock the mysteries of development, there has never been more reason for optimism than now.
