Abstract
The objectives of this commentary are: (1) to highlight challenges in the health research pipeline (i.e. recruiting, training, and retaining researchers); (2) to describe an innovative training program addressing the problem in pediatric pain (Pain in Child Health; PICH); and (3) to encourage researchers to build training networks in their own area of expertise. Since some of the challenges faced by clinical researchers are also experienced by scientists in general, both difficulties unique to health researchers as well as more general issues will be discussed.
