CCFA Pediatric Network- (PROKIIDS)

Three years ago, the foremost pediatric IBD basic and clinical researchers met with the medical leadership of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) to set out priorities in pediatric science and further pediatric IBD treatment and research. Through collaboration between the pediatric community and CCFA, the Pediatric Resource Organization for Kids with Inflammatory Intestinal Diseases (PROKIIDS) was developed. The focus of PROKIIDS is to move the pediatric IBD agenda forward while building worldwide awareness around the seriousness of the issues surrounding our most vulnerable patients. The Pediatric IBD Research Network, which falls under the PROKIIDS umbrella, is a collaboration of pediatric IBD centers (currently there are 26) that work together on research projects.

The Pediatric IBD Research Network is now extending a request for applications for centers in North America that are interested in joining our network. Eligibility is based on qualifications as detailed on the application form and final decisions will be made by the selection committee composed of members of the Pediatric Network and CCFA.
