Our Impact

Since its inception in 2019, PIRN has grown from a grassroots collaboration to a nationally recognized leader in pediatric inpatient research. What began as a collective conducting unfunded, retrospective studies has evolved into a robust network advancing funded prospective studies and now randomized controlled trials! Along the way, PIRN reached exciting milestones – including the creation of the Trainee Advisory Committee (TAC), first executive transition, and introduction of new leadership roles, to build an expanded team that has strengthened our collective capacity. PIRN’s reach extends across Canada, supported by strategic and meaningful partnerships with collaborators. PIRN aims to continue building on this momentum of expanding partnerships, enhancing data infrastructure, and driving evidence-informed changes in pediatric inpatient care.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We would like to acknowledge the land on which SickKids operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat and Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, Toronto is home to Indigenous Peoples from across Turtle Island. SickKids is committed to working toward new relationships that include First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, and is grateful for the opportunity to share this land in caring for children and their families.
