The Society for Pediatric Research (SPR) welcomes you to apply

development of investigators engaged in creating new knowledge
that advances the well-being of children and youth. 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

The SPR welcomes investigators from all nations and all
