The Pediatrics Research Consortium (PeRC) supports effective research within the Children's Hospital community by coordinating our extensive practice-based research network (PBRN). We cater to the diverse needs of the three main parties that benefit from practice-based research: 1) Researchers, 2) Care Centers and Practices, and 3) Patients and Families.
