IDDLab is a quantitative developmental science research team that focuses on innovations in statistical modeling of complex developmental processes. At this time, we are not conducting any new “data collection” projects, and are focusing on data analysis and dissemination of results from several large ongoing collaborative longitudinal studies around the world on which Prof. Deater-Deckard serves as a co-investigator or consulting investigator. Students who are interested in new data collection still are welcomed to apply to join IDDLab but will need to coordinate with Prof. Deater-Deckard and another lab/investigator at UMass Amherst or elsewhere to conduct a new study.
