The Pediatric Clinical Trials Working Group is committed to transforming how pediatric clinical research and clinical trials are understood and conducted across the CTSA Consortium. By identifying systemic barriers, sharing best practices, and promoting innovative trial designs, the group aims to increase the number and quality of clinical trials involving children and adolescents. Its work will culminate in practical tools and strategies that empower researchers and networks to better serve pediatric populations. Ultimately, the working group seeks to accelerate the development of inclusive, high-impact research that improves health outcomes for all children.

Group Goals
Overcome translational science and research roadblocks to pediatric clinical trials by identifying existing research networks nationally engaged in supporting pediatric clinical trials to enhance access for participation.
Determine best practices from existing pediatric clinical trials networks that can be applied in emerging/underdeveloped areas of pediatric health.
Identify barriers and facilitators to conducting pediatric clinical trials.
Understand knowledge gaps in pediatric clinical trials.
Develop strategies to increase access to pediatric clinical trials for all.
Explore innovative opportunities to facilitate pediatric clinical trials, including optimization of sIRB models, decentralized clinical trials, and remote clinical trials, in collaboration with the Trial Innovation Network (TIN).
