Pediatric Primary Care Research to Enhance American Child Health Scientific Leadership Meeting (PPC REACH) - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Meeting Purpose. The Pediatric Research in Office Settings (PROS) network, with a 40-year history of conducting national groundbreaking primary care research that has improved health care for children, is applying for the NIH NICHD R13 grant to hold an annual scientific leadership meeting series over three years titled, Pediatric Primary Care Research to Enhance American Child Health (PPC REACH). We are applying for funding to cover travel to convene approximately 20 leading primary care-focused scientists, frontline pediatric clinicians from communities across the US, family partners, junior investigators, and representatives of aligned programs for 1 in-person meeting every year for 3 years (2026-2028). Additional virtual attendees will bring supplemental perspectives and expertise to each meeting. The meetings have 3 aims: (1) discuss new pediatric primary care research ideas with key stakeholders to develop studies that address the most salient current health challenges for children; (2) develop dissemination and implementation activities with programs that have aligned interests; and (3) provide focused mentoring to junior investigators on key skills for conducting pediatric primary care research on a national scale. Target Audience. Since 1986 PROS has advanced pediatric care by connecting primary-care focused scientists with practicing pediatricians (and now parents) to develop studies that are feasible, impactful, and scalable. In-person, interactive meetings, which depend upon outside funding, have proven critical to this process. To achieve our 3 aims, PPC REACH meetings will gather leading primary care-focused scientists, frontline pediatric clinicians from communities across the US, family partners, junior investigators, and representatives of aligned programs. We will address at least one of the following critical child health threats each year: (a) early obesity prevention and cardiovascular health, (b) child use of technology/digital media and its impact on sleep, and (c) injury prevention including secure firearm storage. Expected Outcomes. Each year we will: (1) Develop one or more primary care research studies of national scope; (2) Craft a minimum of one or more dissemination and implementation plans with a national child- focused program for one or more PROS research studies; and (3) Mentor one or more junior investigators to develop skills to lead future national studies in pediatric primary care. Relevance to NICHD’s Mission and Strategic Priorities. PPC REACH directly aligns with NICHD’s Strategic Plan goal of, “Improving child and adolescent health and the transition to adulthood,” by advancing primary care-based research in priority areas such as nutrition, sleep and digital media use, and exposure to trauma or violence, and by developing and implementing effective, evidence-based approaches within real-world pediatric practice settings. 1
