To predict changes in funding level and federal priorities for NIH related to pediatric research. to increase awareness of how expected policy changes will impact vulnerable child populations, including immigrant children and children in poverty.
The outcome of the Presidential election has significcant impact on the child health policy agenda. The aim of this session is to provide a forum for policy and physician experts to predict major legislative and policy changes which will occur over the next four years.
