The Coalition for Pediatric Medical Research welcomed today’s release of the National Academies’ Strategies to Enhance NIH-Funded Research: Optimizing Child Health report and recommendations. The Coalition took this idea to Congress and worked to secure its inclusion in the Fiscal Year 2024 spending bill.

“The Coalition thanks the National Academies leadership and staff and the study committee for all of the work they invested in this project over the past two years. We are grateful to have the report released and are looking forward to thoroughly reviewing its recommendations and to working with NIH leadership and Congress to advance specific policies put forward to enhance how NIH can support child health and lifespan research.”
