Outstanding Research Opportunities

Children's Hospital's research program has grown dramatically in the last five years with more than a threefold expansion of its National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding portfolio. Each of our fellowship programs has protected time for trainees to engage in research, and outstanding research mentors guide trainees and prepare them for academic careers. The department now has eight NIH-funded and two Health Resources and Service Administration–funded institutional fellowship training grants to support the research activities of the fellows and three K12 awards to support research careers for transition from fellowship to faculty positions.

Premier Living Location

Pittsburgh itself is a city rich in culture and ethnicity. Recreational and sporting activities and facilities are abundant. From the champion Steelers and Penguins to a world-class symphony to magnificent turn-of-the-century architecture, Pittsburgh offers extraordinary amenities in a hometown environment.
