Pediatric Research

The research in the Department of Pediatrics leads, inspires and directs all aspects of the growing research programs with-in the departments multiple divisions. This includes research advancement and corporate relations, pre-award research and post-award research.

The Pediatrics Research Grants & Contracts team works collaboratively with faculty and staff to deliver award account management services.  We serve as liaisons for the School of Medicine’s Grant and Contacts Office for pre-award functions (i.e. budget, submission, progress reports, etc.). We also work in conjunction with the University’s Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) for post-award, project or award creation, financial management of grant funds, etc. to support investigators in their research efforts.

Regulatory Approval

Getting started on a research project?

There are two UVA Institutional Review Boards:

  • IRB-HSR for Health Sciences Research
  • IRB-SRS for Social & Behavioral Sciences

Information on the University IRB Site can help you determine which IRB applies to your research. The appropriate board must approve all research projects. Get started on the approval process early! A good place to start is the IRB Research Guidance document.

Before participating in any research, you must complete a human subjects research CITI training module (certification good for 3 years).

The IRB has an online Protocol Builder that will create a blank Word template of the appropriate paperwork. Go to the link above, request a password, and create a template.
