Southern Society for Pediatric Research (SSPR)

The SSPR was organized in 1960 as a forum for pediatric investigators from the South to present their work and to support career development and leadership in academic pediatrics. Our primary mission is to support and grow the next generation of academic pediatricians and to propel them to national and international recognition.

The society meets annually in New Orleans, Louisiana in conjunction with the Southern Regional Meetings. Several workshops on important research and academic skills are presented each year.
