In 2004 the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research (NCMRR)
of the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) put forth a request
for applications (RFA) to establish a collaborative pediatric critical care
research network. Six pediatric centers and a data-coordinating center were
identified through a competitive application process. The goal of the
network is to develop an infrastructure to pursue well-designed
collaborative clinical trials and meaningful descriptive studies in
pediatric critical care medicine.
Following an RFA for the second funding cycle, seven pediatric centers
and a data coordinating center were selected after
another competitive application process in 2009.
The network seeks to reduce morbidity and mortality in pediatric critical
illness and injury, and to provide a framework for the development of the
scientific basis of pediatric critical care practice.
CPCCRN Research Centers:
Children's Hospital Los Angeles
(USC) / Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA
Children’s Hospital of Michigan
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
Children’s National Medical Center
