Child Health Research Institute

Mission

The Child Health Research Institute was established in 2006 to provide the environment necessary to focus on and develop a wide variety of unique research concepts and to support pilot research activities of faculty to obtain data necessary to submit research proposals to outside agencies. The institute also supports fellows and residents during their research rotation which is a requirement of their Pediatric and Pediatric Sub-Specialty training programs.

The development of a sustainable Pediatric research program that encompasses basic science, bench-to-bedside, clinical and outcomes projects has required focused administrative support and stable infrastructure that supports initiative from within and outside of the Department of Pediatrics. The Child Health Research Institute was established and continues to function to further these research initiatives that generate extramural funding for the PIs.
