Center for Clinical and Community Research
The Center for Clinical and Community Research works to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of childhood diseases through “translational research,” which translates scientific discoveries into practical applications that help young patients and their families. The team pays special attention to disadvantaged and minority populations.
The Center’s associate directors—Pamela Hinds, PhD, RN and John N. Van Den Anker, MD, PhD —lead collaborative research projects with clinical and behavioral investigators, health policy experts, medical geographers, and health services researchers on some of the nation’s most serious pediatric conditions.
Clinical and Translational Science Institute at Children's National (CTSI-CN)
In 2010, Children's National Medical Center, in partnership with The George Washington University Medical Center, received a prestigious Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) from the National Center for Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health. This award, which totals $20 million over five years, was the first CTSA given directly to a children's hospital.
The Clinical and Translational Science Institute at Children's National (CTSI-CN) is a resource for investigators and works to transform the local, regional, and national environment to increase the efficiency and speed of clinical and translational research across the country.
Disorders Studied
Researchers conduct basic and clinical research into some of childhood’s most diagnosed clinical and community disorders, including:
Core Facilities
Several of the Center’s programs provide services and support to every faculty member conducting research at Children’s National.
Translational Research Programs
The Center for Clinical and Community Research also is home to many research programs that combine basic, clinical, and/or community research.
Research Studies
Investigators at the Center for Clinical and Community Research are actively recruiting volunteers for research studies on specific disorders, including:
- Asthma
- Diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2)
- Depression
- Obesity
To find a research study, search our database, then submit an e-mail to or call our research team at 202-476-2200 to begin the process of determining if your child qualifies for a research study. A researcher from Children's Research Institute will respond to your query within two business days.
