Our Mission
The mission of the Pediatric Infectious Disease Epidemiology & Antimicrobial Stewardship (IDEAS) research group is to perform rigorous clinical and translational research that generates evidence on the prevention and treatment of infections to inform best practices and improve the health of children, families, and communities.
Pediatric IDEAS is a collaborative group of investigators within Clinical Futures, formerly the Center for Pediatric Clinical Effectiveness (CPCE), at CHOP.
