Murine Behavioral Neurogenetics Facility (MBNF)
The Murine Behavioral Neurogenetics Facility (MBNF) provides phenotyping services for engineered mouse models, and/or other mouse models (immunologic, environmental) with human clinical relevance. The mission of the MBNF is to use behavioral assessments to screen genetically modified or otherwise manipulated mice; to aid in development of mouse models of human cognitive function and/or clinical disorders (this may include new task development); and to promote inter-disciplinary projects on and across campuses.

The Center for Applied Research in Human Development enables the development and application of interventions intended to improve quality of life for individuals, families, and communities. In particular, we aim to improve outcomes for sociodemographically marginalized populations by informing and evaluating interventions intended for public benefit; we do this by developing relationships with local agencies and assisting with the development, delivery, and evaluation of human service programs.
