To become a participating PediBIRN site, how many local investigators must agree to collaborate?
Every participating site will be required to verify and to facilitate the collaboration of at least 3 local investigators. These investigators should include, at a minimum: (1) a research nurse coordinator, (2) a pediatric intensivist, and (3) a child abuse medical specialist (that is, a licensed medical provider who routinely completes inpatient medical evaluations regarding suspected child physical abuse). Additional local investigators are welcome.
