Listing Type: Special Event
 
Description: 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.
 
Location: Natcher Auditorium on the National Institutes of Health campus in Bethesda, Maryland.
