Pediatric Advisory Board

The Integrating Special Populations Program supports the Pediatric Advisory Board, a community research advisory group composed entirely of children under age 18. Members are recruited from the Rochester, Minnesota, area and come from all walks of life. The group meets on a quarterly basis to advise Mayo Clinic investigators on the direction of their pediatric research.

The mission of the Pediatric Advisory Board is to ensure that pediatric research:

  • Represents the major health concerns of children.
  • Respects the ability of children to assent to participate in research.
  • Reflects the perspectives of children.
  • Benefits the health of children.
