Topics

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has requested the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine establish an ad hoc committee to examine pediatric research supported by NIH. The committee will consider the perspectives of multiple NIH Institutes and Centers in its deliberations. After reviewing the current NIH pediatric research portfolio and structure, the committee will make recommendations focused on improving NIH’s overall support of child health research. The committee may also consider ways in which the NIH Clinical Center could be used to advance innovative pediatric research.
