    Overview

    Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center/Cincinnati Children's Research Foundation is an international leader in improving child healthcare dating back to its start in 1883. Cincinnati Children's is a pediatric academic medical center (a nonprofit hospital and research center) pioneering breakthrough treatments, providing outstanding family-centered patient care and training health care professionals for the future. It has 673 registered inpatient beds including 102 inpatient behavioral health beds and 30 residential behavioral health beds serving southwestern Ohio, southeastern Indiana and northern Kentucky. It has more than 1,304,000 patient encounters, annually.

    Cincinnati Children's is accredited to conduct clinical research by the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs (AAHRPP) and has been conducting pediatric research since 1931. It is the third highest recipient of NIH research grant funding among comprehensive pediatric centers. Annually, it has more than 2,000 investigator-initiated, industry-sponsored and federally sponsored IRB-active protocols including pediatric phase 1 to 4 and select adult phase 1 to 4 clinical studies.

    Research Experience

    Cincinnati Children's Research Foundation is dedicated to advancing basic, translational, clinical and outcomes-based research. Our researchers investigate a wide variety of childhood and adult illnesses and offer patients access to leading-edge treatments. The Research Foundation investigators have made major contributions to the advancement of pediatric medicine since it opened in 1931. Achievements by Cincinnati Children's researchers include such breakthrough discoveries as the Sabin oral vaccine, the first practical heart-lung machine that made open-heart surgery possible, and the discovery of the key ingredients of the surfactant preparation used throughout the world to save the lives of thousands of premature infants each year. More recently, Cincinnati Children's researchers were responsible for the discovery and testing of a vaccine (Rotarix) that prevents rotavirus infection, which kills half a million children throughout the world each year.

Included in that 1.4 million square feet is our new Clinical Sciences Pavilion. The pavilion added 445,000 square feet of space for expanded laboratories, an imaging center and supporting infrastructure. The expansion has helped to attract more of the world’s top pediatric scientists to pursue clinical trials, translational research, outcomes, improvement studies and more.
