The U.S. Children's Hospitals Research Integrity Tracker is a specialized tool designed to monitor and ensure the integrity of research conducted within leading children's hospitals across the United States. This tracker includes critical filters that focus on affiliations with BIOSECURE ACT companies of concern (BGI, MGI, WuXi AppTec, Complete Genomics), PLA General Hospitals, the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and the China National GeneBank. These entities are associated with heightened risks in research security and research integrity, particularly in the context of national security concerns and ethical research practices. The tracker provides a comprehensive overview of research activities, highlighting potential collaborations and funding sources that may pose risks to the ethical standards of pediatric research, ensuring that these institutions uphold the highest standards of integrity and transparency.
