"From Bench to Bassinet"

The figure shows a translation continuum from Discovery through Early Translation to Clinical. The Pediatric Cardiovascular Translation Consortium is organized as three groups. The first, under Discovery, is the Cardiac Development Consortium research centers, steering committee, and cores. The second, under Early Translation, is the Pediatric Cardiac Genomics Consortium research centers, steering committee and cores. The two consortia are linked through a Administrative Coordinating Center, and their steering committees are linked through a Coordinating Committee. The third group, under Clinical, is the Pediatric Heart Network clinical centers, cores, biorepository, Data and Safety Monitoring Board, Protocol Review Board, and Data Coordinating Center. The Pediatric Cardiac Genomics Consortium is linked to the network through the network Data Coordinating Center.
