About Us

The mission of the Eastern Society for Pediatric Research (ESPR) is to foster the development of multidisciplinary careers promoting pediatric research.

Our goal is to provide investigators (especially trainees and junior faculty members) of all races, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations, gender identities, and abilities with an opportunity to meet and present their research for critical review and feedback.
