Children´s National Medical Center does more than treat childhood illness, we develop those treatments as well. Through the Children´s Research Institute (CRI), basic and clinical investigators utilize cutting-edge technologies to fight childhood disease nationally and internationally. The Children´s Research Institution mission is to develop and maintain research programs that will lead to improved understanding, treatment and prevention of the diseases of childhood and adolescence.

The Children´s Research Institute has developed its own web site to inform researchers, parents and other interested individuals about investigative breakthroughs at Children´s. Visitors who are not from the research community may find the CRI web site offers more detailed information than they need. If you chose to visit Children´s Research Institute´s web site, please note that you can return to Children´s home page at any time by clicking on the Children´s National Medical Center bear logo.
