Foreword: Current Topics in Pediatric Translational Research

Until recently, the care of children has almost entirely been based on adult evidence. Even today, many treatments used in pediatric clinical care remain off-label. Although research that is focused on the most vulnerable population —children—continues to receive only a small proportion of all grant funding for health science research in countries/regions such as the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and others, great strides have been made through progressively more stringent requirements by regulatory agencies, as well as th rough the efforts of advocacy groups, professional organizations, and subspecialty societies.
