By valuing each individual, we advance toward better healthcare and research.

The National Center for Child Health and Development is committed to supporting the health and future of children and women. Guided by this commitment, we strive to create an environment where every individual who comes together here can feel safe, supported, and empowered to realize their full potential.
We aspire to be a center where everyone can work in a way that reflects who they are, while respecting differences in gender, age, nationality, culture, life stage, values, and other dimensions of diversity. We are also advancing initiatives that provide support and consultation for women researchers, enabling them to balance life events with research and professional responsibilities and to build careers that align with their own aspirations. When diverse perspectives come together, better healthcare and research emerge—and we value the connections that make this possible.
