This grant is for the purpose of fostering research that adapts and validates biomarkers initially developed for adults, for their crucial application in pediatric healthcare. Institutions and organizations are invited to propose projects focused on transferring these existing adult-centric biomarker technologies to children. The primary goal is to enhance pediatric medical practices by utilizing these adapted biomarkers for more accurate diagnosis, improved prognosis prediction, better assessment of disease progression, monitoring of toxicity from treatments, and evaluating therapeutic responses in pediatric patients. This initiative aims to bridge the gap in biomarker application between adult and pediatric therapeutics, ultimately improving outcomes for children, focusing on practical application and rigorous validation.
