The USF Department of Pediatrics is committed to scientific discovery and innovation to improve the health of the children in our community. Over the past five years, our investigators have led hundreds of trials funded by pharmaceutical/biotechnology companies and US government agencies. In collaboration with USF Health, the Department of Pediatrics provides investigators of all career stages with the training and resources required to accomplish these goals.

The Valenti Research Program internal grant award is designed for current USF Health Morsani College of Medicine Pediatric clinical fellows, post-doctoral staff, and ranked early-career faculty (within first 3 years of appointment) to develop new research projects who do not have established funding sources (external or college/departmental).

With deep gratitude, we thank Nicolas T. Valenti, M.D., and Jeanette Y. Valenti, Ph.D., for their generous support of pediatric research and for empowering our faculty to advance discoveries that improve the lives of children.
