Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The NIH Gabriella Miller Kids First Common Fund Working Group supports the goals and initiatives of the NIH Gabriella Miller First Common Fund Pediatric Research Program. In fiscal year 2015, in accordance with the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act, Congress appropriated $12.6 million to the NIH Common Fund to support pediatric research. The Common Fund’s Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research program (Kids First) is developing a data resource for the pediatric research community of well-curated clinical and genetic sequence data that will allow scientists to identify genetic pathways that underlie specific pediatric conditions but that may also be shared between apparently disparate conditions. |
