STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) Officials say a research center at Penn State University aiming to prevent child abuse and improve treatment should open in a few months.
A university spokeswoman told The Daily Item (http://bit.ly/2tRY3K2 ) the school is targeting September for the opening of the Center for Healthy Children.
The center, which was announced in April, will be supported by nearly $8 million from the National Institutes for Health and more than $3 million from the school.
The program will supplement the university’s Child Maltreatment Solutions Network, established in response to the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.
