He has served as co-investigator on several large multi-center planning grants sponsored by the NIH/NICHD to develop interventional studies in pediatric advanced life support. Dr. Nadkarni has led the pediatric subcommittees for resuscitation science guideline development including the ILCOR consensus statements on resuscitation science and the accompanying AHA CPR and ECC guidelines in Circulation. He serves on the Scientific Advisory Board of developing networks of pediatric critical care research coalitions including the Pediatric Acute Lung Injury and Sepsis Investigators (PALISI), the Pediatric Emergency Care Research Network (PECARN) cardiac arrest study group, and the EXPRESS and POISE pediatric simulation education, innovation and research networks. His appointment to the board of directors of the World Federation of Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care Societies (2007-2013), the SCCM National Council 2001-2015, and the AHA’s Science Advisory and Coordinating Council and 2006-2020 AHA Strategic Planning Committees herald my ability to influence the national and international research and training agendas. As current co-chair of the International Liaison Committee for Resuscitation and founding Council member of the Accreditation Committee for the Society of Simulation in Healthcare, Vinay is well aware of the need for improvement in current educational and treatment support methods for pediatric resuscitation in general emergency departments.
