The Pediatric Research Development Core (PRDC) has three overlapping arms of service for the Department of Pediatrics: General Resources and Services, Education and Training, and Proposal Development. These three arms provide a support system to optimize a researcher's career.

General Resources & Services includes sustaining collaborative relationships with Emory's Office of Research Development and Research Administrative Services. Services include general copyediting, Emory/Children's specific boilerplates, and departmental pilot funding programs.

Education and Training forms a key component of the PRDC. Services include early career researcher writing consultations, educational workshops and trainings, and training grant development.

Proposal Development within the PRDC primarily focuses on complex, multi-project funding applications. Services include project management, coordination with Emory offices, and copyediting.
