MISSION
Improve the scientific quality and quantity of clinical research in Children at Stanford through providing
research personnel and services to investigators, advising investigators in scientific design, providing funding
for junior investigators and pilot projects, and facilitating research mentoring and career development.
SERVICES
We provide formal infrastructure, mentoring, and funding in preparing early and mid-career faculty for a career in clinical and translational research in child health. Our services are available to Stanford faculty and trainees participating in clinical and translational research in children.
"I have previously found the obstacles to initiating clinical research at Stanford to be daunting, and have at times refrained from starting important early studies due to limitations on my time which precluded completing the IRB, contracting, and budgeting processes. I am delighted to let you know, that these services and resources have made a big difference in this process, and have greatly enhanced my ability to lead and participate in clinical trials. I am particularly impressed by the expertise you have developed in budgeting for trials, and in analyzing protocols to determine the time commitments of coordinators and investigators. Thank you for this important assistance."
