research strategies
a multifaceted approach to scientific discovery
Dayton Children’s participates in many different types of clinical research, including investigator-initiated studies, multicenter studies sponsored by other institutions, studies supported by industry and meta-data analysis of previously published research studies.

Many of our providers also engage in quality improvement (QI) projects that focus on finding more effective treatment strategies, enhancing quality of life, minimizing side effects, reducing costs or improving the patient experience. These studies, while not strictly research, are an important aspect of our work as an institution. Dayton Children’s provides training and support for physicians, nurses and others who participate in QI projects.
key partnerships
Partnerships with key institutions in the Dayton area further strengthen our research efforts. We are academically affiliated with Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine, whose Department of Pediatrics is located at the hospital. This facilitates opportunities for collaboration with scientists across the university.
Another key partnership is with the Wright State University and Premier Health Neuroscience Institute, whose mission is to accelerate neuroscience research in the region and enhance care. As part of this partnership, Dayton Children’s clinicians and researchers formally participate in a broad range of research and educational programs.
Also, as part of its commitment to upholding the highest standards of clinical research, Dayton Children’s has established a protocol review committee and institutional review board.
