Center for Clinical and Community Research
Jill G. Joseph, MD, PhD, MPH, Center Director of Clinical and Community Research |
The Center for Clinical and Community Research works to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of childhood diseases through “translational research,” which translates scientific discoveries into practical applications that help young patients and their families. The team pays special attention to disadvantaged and minority populations.
The Center’s three directors—Jill G. Joseph, MD, PhD, MPH; John N. Van Den Anker, MD, PhD; and Stephen J. Teach, MD, MPH—lead collaborative investigations with health policy experts, medical geographers, and health services researchers into some of the nation’s most serious pediatric conditions.
Disorders Studied
Researchers conduct basic and clinical research into some of childhood’s most diagnosed clinical and community disorders, including:
Core Facilities
Several of the Center’s programs provide services and support to every faculty member conducting research at Children’s National.
Translational Research Programs
The Center for Clinical and Community Research also is home to many research programs that combine basic, clinical, and/or community research.
Research Studies
Investigators at the Center for Clinical and Community Research are actively recruiting volunteers for research studies on specific disorders, including:
- Asthma
- Diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2)
- Depression
- Obesity
To find a research study, search our database, then submit an e-mail to or call our research team at 202-476-2200 to begin the process of determining if your child qualifies for a research study. A researcher from Children's Research Institute will respond to your query within two business days.
