Investigator Resources from the Colorado Child Health Research Institute

The Colorado Child Health Research Institute is a research partnership between Children’s Hospital Colorado and University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. This campus-wide partnership enables collaboration among more than 500 physician scientists, PhDs, nurse scientists and other investigators making research discoveries that are changing the future of child health.

The institute acts as an administrative, scientific and operational home for child health research, supporting infrastructure for this work at Children’s Colorado and across the medical campus. It has eight major functions: Research strategy and administration, research operations administration, research education, regulatory affairs, research business services, internal grant awards, clinical research contracting and research informatics and data science. The Colorado Child Health Research Institute works with research teams from dozens of specialties, programs and centers on campus, touching all aspects of child health.
