The UVM Children’s Hospital Research Program aims to cultivate curiosity and inquiry in pediatric health by supporting faculty conducting and sharing research to improve outcomes for children equitably and inclusively. 

We will lead transformative research in pediatric care by prioritizing basic science, clinical innovation, healthcare services, quality improvement, and global health, all through an equity lens that values diverse researchers and inclusive participation of pediatric patients.

Collaboration is essential for advancing scientific progress. Partnerships with researchers from other University of Vermont departments and with national and international colleagues enhance the research in the Department of Pediatrics.

Research activities carried out within the Department are supported by internal and extramural funding, including grants from the UVM Cancer Center, the National Institute of Health, the Health Resources Services Administration, the Vermont Agency of Human Services, and the Gates Foundation, among others.
