The American Pediatric Society is the oldest and most prestigious academic Pediatric organization in North America. The societies’ objectives aim to bring together men and women, create awareness among them about the improvement of the health of children from various diseases, to prevent illness by taking proper curative measures and also to promote the education of public health from childhood. The association also focusses on the need to promote Pediatric education and research, and to honor those who, contribute to paediatrics in its advancement. The American Pediatric Society is also termed as the Society for Pediatric Research (SPR). The mission of SPR is to encourage investigators involved in creating innovations that help in the well-being of children and youth in their research and career development. This can be achieved by laying down a platform to discuss different innovative ideas and research at the annual meeting of Pediatric Academic Societies. Pediatric Research is the official journal of APS/SPR. It publishes original research articles, invited reviews, and comments on the causes of diseases and disorders of development in children, extending from molecular biology to epidemiology.
