Pediatric research at The Cleveland Clinic is one of the cornerstones of its institutional mission and an integral component of each pediatric resident's training. The Cleveland Clinic's pediatric program is one of only a handful of pediatric programs in the United States that requires its pediatric residents to actively participate in a research project each year of their three-year training. Each resident reports the results at the Clinic's Annual Pediatric Research Day. Awards are given for outstanding projects, and many of our residents go on to present their findings at regional and national meetings. For the past several years, Cleveland Clinic pediatric residents have been the dominant group of resident presenters at the Midwest Society for Pediatric Research's annual meetings. In 2000, 11 Cleveland Clinic pediatric resident research projects were submitted to the Society, and all 11 were accepted; a "first" in the history of the organization. In 2001, all seven Cleveland Clinic abstracts were accepted. Patient care is enhanced as a direct result of pediatric research. The overwhelming majority of our research projects are clinical in nature, so research results can be transferred rapidly to patient bedside. In 2001, the Division of Pediatrics secured approximately $1 million for clinical research.
