The Nemours Center for Pediatric Clinical Research and Development (CPCRD) was created to advance the health of children by fostering the development of state-of-the-art clinical and translational research at Nemours. The Center operates with two Directors, Drs. Judith Ross and Robert Akins, who collaborate to identify and foster high-quality clinical pediatric research.
The CPCRD aims to support clinical research across disciplines and across all sites within Nemours.
Critical goals for the Center:
- Connecting junior and mid-level researchers with key resources that reduce the administrative burden associated with initiating and conducting pediatric research.
- Implementing advisory and mentoring programs in which experienced senior investigators help pediatric clinician scientists from Nemours achieve independent external funding.
