The Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program Data Resource Center (Kids First DRC) is a collaborative pediatric research effort with the goal to understand the genetic causes and links between childhood cancer and structural birth defects. The Kids First DRC accelerates data-driven discoveries by providing researchers with access to one of the largest pediatric data collections available.
The Kids First DRC is funded by the NIH Common Fund as part of the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program, named after 10-year-old Gabriella Miller who advocated for increased pediatric research funding before her death from cancer in 2013. The Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act was signed into law in 2014, authorizing $12.6 million each year for 10 years to support pediatric research.
Kids First DRC provides researchers with:
All clinical data is standardized using ontologies such as the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) for phenotypes and MONDO Disease Ontology for diagnoses, enabling cross-condition analyses and discovery.
Access to Kids First data requires approved access through the NIH Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP). The data is not publicly downloadable but is accessible to qualified researchers who have obtained appropriate approvals. The Kids First Data Resource Portal allows researchers to explore and analyze data within a secure environment.
The Kids First DRC comprises a collaborative network of leading institutions:
Sequencing partners include Hudson Alpha, Broad Institute, Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center, and Washington University in St. Louis.
