Pediatric Network Support Act
The Pediatric Network Support Act (HR 5269) establishes a federal grant program to create a Pediatric Research Site Network. It provides $2 million annually (2024-2029) to fund qualified organizations - like universities or 501(c)(3) non-profits with biomedical expertise - to collaborate on improving pediatric clinical trials. The network will develop guidance on trial design, feasibility, and safety to accelerate medical product development for children, including drugs, devices, and diagnostics. Grantees must submit annual reports to Congress on the network's operations and progress.
