DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A large gap currently exists in our understanding of health services for children and adolescents. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has called for new research in the areas of outcomes, quality, cost, use, and access in order to improve health care services for children. They have also acknowledged the need to "nourish" investigators who are conducting child-relevant health services research. Currently a limited number of conferences are available to investigators that specialize in pediatric health services research. The options that are available are very traditional in their format, large-scale in their size, and may not focus exclusively on pediatric health services research. Therefore, we are proposing that an annual symposium (i.e., Annual Symposium for Pediatric Health Services Research) be held that will: (1) Bring together established and young pediatric health services investigators to discuss the most current, cutting edge research in the field, (2) Offer networking opportunities across institutions that will lead to multi-institutional pediatric health services research collaborations, (3) Provide career development and mentorship for junior pediatric health services researchers, and (4) Produce forward-looking white papers on future directions of pediatric health services research that will be disseminated using traditional communication strategies and more advanced methods such as social media. Building on the success of our 1st Annual Symposium held in the fall of 2011 at the Indiana University School of Medicine, our future symposiums will offer a balance between plenary and small-group breakout sessions. We will also provide numerous opportunities for networking and informal conversations. The meeting will also be innovative in how its content is disseminated utilizing traditional techniques such as journal supplement publication, as well as more advanced methods of content dissemination including podcasts, updates, and blogs. The Annual Symposium for Pediatric Health Services Research will focus on research development (i.e., conferences where issues or challenges in the practice and delivery of health care are defined and a research agenda or strategy for studying them is developed) as well as research training, infrastructure and career development (i.e., conferences where faculty, trainees and students are brought together with stakeholders to develop, share or disseminate research products, experiences, curricula, syllabi, or training competencies). The symposium will provide a compelling and informative meeting covering a different AHRQ interest area each year. The areas we propose to cover are pediatric comparative effectiveness research (2013), pediatric-focused health care innovations and emerging areas (2014) and pediatric-focused health information technology (2015).

描述（由申请人提供）：目前我们对儿童和青少年健康服务的理解存在很大差距。卫生保健研究和质量局（AHRQ）呼吁在结果、质量、成本、使用和可及性等领域进行新的研究，以改善儿童的卫生保健服务。他们还承认有必要“滋养”正在进行与儿童有关的保健服务研究的调查人员。目前，专门从事儿科卫生服务研究的研究人员可以参加的会议数量有限。可用的选项在格式上是非常传统的，大规模的
