Research

A major goal of CHLN remains our focus on increasing our NIH and other federal funding to support discovery related to healthy lifestyles and obesity in children and families. We continued to grow in this area in 2021 as documented by the metrics on page 23. We have focused many of our efforts in the past year on supporting colleagues to continue their work during the pandemic despite significant challenges, on increasing the volume of

research in our extensive clinical programs and on growing our team. Dr. Nicola Santoro joined our team in 2021 to help increase our expertise in translational science around obesity and metabolism.


We have also focused a great deal on helping our fellows to apply for NIH funding as principal investigator during their fellowships with our Center. Our associate director, scientific medical director and scientific directors meet monthly with the director to generate ideas on how to improve the research environment and research productivity at CHLN. In 2022 we look forward to continued momentum regarding research and its overlap with our other programmatic areas.
