The Pediatricians Accelerate Childhood Therapies Act of 2021 (PACT Act) aims to boost pediatric research by authorizing the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to provide grants to early-career scientists, with a focus on researchers from underrepresented groups. It also creates a consortium, the Trans-NIH Pediatric Research Consortium, to coordinate pediatric research efforts across various NIH institutes and centers. The bill prioritizes specific research areas like mental health, cancer, and genetic disorders, and requires reporting on research activities and funding to Congress.
