Description: Join your colleagues for a one-day conference focused on improving the pediatric drug and medical device development process in order to better meet the needs of pediatric populations. The purpose of this conference is to describe a set of specifications that a national child health clinical research infrastructure should address to effectively and efficiently develop drugs and medical devices for these pediatric populations. Through NCRR’s Clinical and Translational Science Award program, NCRR supports transformative research throughout the lifespan, and clinical research supporting child health has been an important part of this initiative from the start. Leading experts and key stakeholders at the conference will discuss:

1. Collaboration opportunities with a national child health clinical research infrastructure;

2. Streamlining and improving the process from pediatric drug and device discovery to patient trial; and

3. Academic, industry, government and patient advocacy expectations.
