STAND4KIDS aims to establish a national pediatric trial network through the following activities:
- Mapping national sites, based on expertise and operational capacity of pediatric trials (clinical and trial conduct).
- Provide C4C with information on practices at national and site level, including:
- Ethics and regulatory approvals
- Standards for study procedures and documents – e.g. confidentiality agreements, master contracts, budget templates
- Support C4C proof-of-viability studies (industry and non-industry) conducted in Portugal:
- Site selection
- Feasibility assessments (site and/or national)
- Site readiness and site performance
- Disseminate and support the implementation of network-wide standards and processes.
- Identify training needs from sites and liaise with sites for C4C training opportunities.
- Link with and promote the voices of children, young people and families at national level
