About Society for Pediatric Research (SPR)

Mission

The Society for Pediatric Research exists to foster the research and career development of investigators engaged in creating new knowledge that advances the health and well-being of children and youth.

The primary purpose of the Society for Pediatric Research is to encourage young investigators engaged in research that is of benefit to children. This is accomplished by providing a forum for interchange of ideas and an opportunity for these young investigators to present their work.

Through our co-sponsorship of the Pediatric Academic Societies’ (PAS) Annual Meeting, we provide a forum for presentation and dissemination of your innovative ideas and research. In addition, the Society actively supports the development of future pediatric scientists by sponsoring a student research-training program and recognizing outstanding research achievements in pediatrics through SPR-sponsored awards.

The SPR welcomes investigators from all nations and all pediatric disciplines to join the Society as we bridge basic science, clinical, translational, and epidemiologic research for the advancement of the health of children worldwide.
