Research is the cornerstone of medical progress. Paediatric research has its own nuances and represents an additional challenge due to the intrinsic characteristics of the paediatric population compared with adults. Despite the tremendous importance of childhood health and its impact during adulthood, society is still not convinced about the importance of conducting research in paediatrics. This also applies to paediatricians themselves, who think about research as a discipline that does not directly involve them. The Spanish Academy of Paediatrics has developed a specific research platform- INVEST-AEP- to try to help and answer the challenges associated with paediatric research in the society This article reflects the current status of paediatric research in Spain, and the goals achieved over the last few years due to the effort of paediatric researchers. In addition, a deeper analysis is provided as regards: a) the barriers that represent a hurdle for the development of broad and competitive paediatric research in our day to day work; b) the limited incentives and specific pre- and post-doctoral training; c) the high clinical burden for paediatricians or; d) the lack of specific infrastructure and dedicated funding for paediatrics. The mission, vision and values of INVEST-AEP are to develop an accessible roadmap for the development and implementation of paediatric research in Spain for the next few years.
研究是医学进步的基石。儿科研究有其自身的细微差别，而且由于儿科人群与成人相比的内在特征，它带来了额外的挑战。尽管儿童期健康极其重要且对成年期有影响，但社会仍未信服儿科研究的重要性。这也适用于儿科医生自身，他们将研究视为与自己没有直接关联的学科。西班牙儿科学会开发了一个特定的研究平台——INVEST - AEP，试图帮助应对并解答社会中与儿科研究相关的挑战。本文反映了西班牙儿科研究的现状，以及过去几年儿科研究人员努力所取得的成果。此外，还对以下方面进行了更深入的分析：a）在我们日常工作中，阻碍广泛且具竞争力的儿科研究发展的障碍；b）有限的激励措施以及特定的博士前和博士后培训；c）儿科医生的高临床负担；d）缺乏针对儿科的特定基础设施和专项资金。INVEST - AEP的使命、愿景和价值观是为未来几年在西班牙开展和实施儿科研究制定一条可行的路线图。
