2nd Annual Children's National-NIAID Symposium

Event Details

The Children's National and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) partnership focuses on pediatric studies of significant interest to investigators at both institutions. This collaboration is framed and supported through a supplemental award to the Clinical and Translational Science Institute at Children's National (CTSI-CN), which is funded by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS). As partners, Children's National and NIAID co-host an annual symposium. This year, the event will highlight other collaborative efforts between NIH and Children's National, and address genomics and care of children with immunologic diseases.
