Register Now: Kids First 2021 Fall Webinar
On September 27, the NIH Common Fund's Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program will host a public webinar to share program updates and research findings from a Kids First project and data analyses. In addition, the Kids First Data Resource Center (Kids First DRC) will demo the latest analysis tools and resources in development within the Kids First Data Resource.
Open to all members of the community, the event will stream live on WebEx, and is an excellent opportunity for patient communities and researchers interested in childhood cancers and structural birth defects to hear from Kids First investigators and data experts, and to pose their questions to this season's panel of presenters.
