Start with a research question. Leave with a clearer path to analysis. The Kids First Portal helps researchers search harmonized pediatric data, explore clinical details, identify cohorts, and send authorized files to CAVATICA. Explore the portal: https://monkeylink.co/d3c6ee

Every discovery begins with a thread: a question, dataset, or perspective that helps researchers see differently. On Sept. 17, see Kids First researchers build and share #CAVATICA tools, then hear from #NIH leaders guiding the program. https://monkeylink.co/b397cb #KidsFirstDRC #PediatricResearch
