Abstract

Pediatric research seeks to improve and optimize child health through scientific exploration and translation of the products and results of research into clinical practice. With advances in research methods and technology, scientists are progressively able to address new and persistent problems in clinical medicine, quality improvement, health services, public and population health and bioinformatics as well as in new domains. Current federal interest in speeding knowledge translation from laboratory to clinical practice to improve outcomes has led to the study of the improvement and optimization of the research process itself, and how translation and adoption of best practices occurs within the health community. As health care research and technologies to save and prolong life evolve, even more questions arise regarding the wisdom, responsibility, and the equity of their use, to protect children and their rights and the rights of their families.
