Welcome

Welcome to the Pediatric Research Excellence Partnership (PREP) Office. We provide grants and research support services department wide and manage the Pediatric Clinical and Translational (PCAT) Research Scholars Program. In providing grants and research support to pediatric investigators we aim to 1) support clinical and basic science investigators, 2) enhance the quality of research conducted in the Department of Pediatrics, and 3) increase the grant funding available to pediatric investigators. We have recently relocated to the garden level of the William's Building. Come visit us!
