Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted over the period of 8 weeks starting on 1st of March 2020. Sampling was convenience and purposive and included all consecutive patients who underwent any surgical procedure.
Background: The amount of federal dollars allocated to improving the health of our pediatric population can serve as an indicator of the priority placed on child well-being. Although Congress has established novel mechanisms that marginally increase pediatric research funding, the pediatric research portfolio is facing an increasingly uncertain fate.
Methods: This work examines pediatric, perinatal and pediatric research initiative (PRI) spending using data collected by the NIH that uses the novel research, condition and disease categorization system.
