The Women and Children’s Health Research Institute (WCHRI) addresses the growing need among child health researchers to offer children access to promising new therapies, including complex Phase I trials (first-in-human studies). To meet this demand, WCHRI has developed state-of-the-art infrastructure and support services to expand and improve clinical research in children’s health. We are one of the only centres in Canada offering this level of comprehensive support for the highly regulated environment of pediatric clinical trials. Reflecting this critical need, WCHRI’s specialized coordination team partners closely with investigators, hospital staff, ethics boards, and industry. This collaboration enables us to safely offer children and families the opportunity to participate in clinical trials and research. The WCHRI coordination team works across units at the Stollery Children’s Hospital, including the Pediatric Clinical Investigation Unit.
