Children's Research Institute
The Children’s Research Institute (CRI) at Children's National Medical Center has as its mission the advancement of research and education to improve child health and well-being. There are more than 300 scientists, trainees, and staff in CRI. Our annual NIH grant portfolio has grown from $6 million in 1998 to more than $33 million in 2006, and the total grant portfolio has increased from $12 million to $60 million in that same period. The research at Children’s has become a focal point for multi-institutional projects in the metropolitan Washington, DC, area and nationally.
There are extensive interactions between CRI and clinical programs at Children’s, facilitated by the high number of physician/scientists, and the physical proximity of research space and patient care units. CRI is organized into four "research centers”: Genetic Medicine Research, Clinical and Community Research, Cancer and Immunology Research, and Neuroscience Research.
This multidisciplinary approach to research has led to substantial strength in translational medicine, including the application of state-of-the-art genomic and proteomic approaches to patient diagnosis and monitoring. It has also been the catalyst in developing treatments, preventions, and cures for some of the most devastating pediatric diseases.
