Welcome to The Children's Hospital
Research Institute
Established in Memory of C. Henry Kempe
Research in childhood diseases formally began in 1978 at The Children's Hospital. Today, The Children's Hospital (TCH) is nationally recognized for its excellence in research in the diseases of the newborn, child and teen.
While The Children's Hospital Research Institute (RI) is affiliated with the University of Colorado Denver, our offices are centrally located at The Children's Hospital on the 2nd floor of Tammen Hall.
All forms, policies and procedures, and staff contacts are located on Planet TCH (The Children's Hospital intranet) under the RI departmental website. If you do not have access to Planet TCH, call the RI office for assistance at 720.777.6310.
The RI serves as an umbrella organization for all research at TCH. The Sponsored Programs Office in the RI facilitates both pre- and post-award management of grants and contracts at TCH and develops subcontracts with outside institutions. The Colorado Multiple Institutional Review Board (COMIRB) is a board established to review biomedical and behavioral research involving subjects conducted at or supported by each of the institutions. The RI houses the Clinical Trials Organization (CTO), which supports TCH faculty and staff who are involved in clinical trials evaluating state-of-the-art drugs and devices for treating childhood diseases.
The RI, in collaboration with the Pediatric Clinical Translational Research Center (Pediatric CTRC), supports a Biometrics Office which offers consultation services with TCH faculty and staff regarding the design of research projects, interim monitoring and the data analysis of research projects.
The RI has also focused on new, young TCH investigators by funding them for projects that may subsequently provide the preliminary data necessary for the investigator to compete for funds from outside agencies. Over half of RI grant recipients have been successful in obtaining additional funds from outside granting agencies such as the National Institutes of Health and the American Heart Association, as well as other foundations and granting agencies.
