Two collaborative workshops between the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the National Center for Research Resources’ Clinical and Translational Science Award Consortium Child Health Oversight Committee have been scheduled in the coming months. 

 

 

Meeting on “Methodologies to Set Priorities for Child Health Clinical Research”. The goals will be exploration, discussion and development of approaches to establish priorities for child health clinical research studies. Systematic approaches are needed to allocate the available resources and infrastructure that account for factors such as public health need, scientific opportunity, available infrastructure, technical feasibility, resource footprint of projects, potential impact, cultural willingness, investigator interest, availability of appropriate and informative populations, regulatory programs, funding and economic incentives. The meeting will focus on methods and approaches that can be scaled to populations of interest, whether they are defined by geographic region, age, condition or other factors. Included as part of the workshop will be a prioritization discussion addressing the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act initiative.
