Mark Schleiss and William Hay co-chair this Working Group. The group had its speakers author a paper based on the presentation at the PAS meeting in Baltimore, "Child Health Research Funding and Policy: The Imperatives and the Investments That America Needs to Make for a Healthier World." This manuscript has been accepted and is being revised.
This year the Working Group submitted a workshop, "Crafting Successful Clinician-Scientists in Child Health Research," which has been accepted. Several members of the Working Group, Bill Hay, Mark Schleiss, Steve Abman, and David Cornfield are leading an effort to discuss the problem of the "leaky" pipeline of physician scientists in child health research and develop an action plan, possibly resulting in a white paper. They hope to sponsor a national meeting to address the subject in greater detail.
