SDBP 2025 Fall Annual Meeting
The SDBP Annual Meeting is designed to provide a forum for pediatric healthcare providers including pediatricians (researchers, teachers, and/or clinicians), psychologists, nurse practitioners, social workers and educational specialists interested in developmental and behavioral pediatrics. A variety of educational formats are planned that will encourage the exchange of new scientific and clinical information and support the interchange of opinions regarding care and management issues relevant to developmental and behavioral pediatrics. Scientific material will be presented through symposia, oral abstracts, poster presentations, and small group sessions designed for in-depth exploration of specific topics.

Dr. Tanya Froehlich is a developmental-behavioral pediatrician who earned her medical degree at Yale University, did her pediatrics residency at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and completed both a Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics clinical fellowship and a National Research Service Award fellowship at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. She is Professor of Pediatrics at Cincinnati Children’s, where she serves as Director of the Division of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics and Program Director for the division’s Maternal Child Health Bureau (MCHB)-funded DBP training program.
Dr. Froehlich’s research, which has examined the epidemiology of and environmental contributors to ADHD as well as predictors and correlates of ADHD treatment response, has been continuously funded by NIH since 2009. She has a particular interest in identifying and treating Complex ADHD, including ADHD in children with coexisting neurodevelopmental and behavioral disorders as well as ADHD in preschool children. Dr. Froehlich currently leads national ADHD research efforts as chair of the ADHD Node for the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)-funded national developmental-pediatrics research network DBPNet. She is also passionate about disseminating and implementing best practices for providing ADHD clinical care. Dr. Froehlich served on the committees that developed the SDBP Complex ADHD Clinical Practice Guideline and the 2019 AAP ADHD Clinical Practice Guideline, and is currently Co-Chair of the committee revising the AAP ADHD Guideline. Her leadership in the field is further demonstrated by her roles as past President of SDBP and past Treasurer of the American Professional Society for ADHD and Related Disorders (APSARD).

Are You Curious About the Field of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics?
The Society for Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics is excited to offer the Exploring DBP Program Awards for 2025. This program is a unique opportunity for medical students, pediatrics residents, and second career pediatricians to experience the wide world of the subspecialty of DBP.
Awardees will receive funding to attend the SDBP 2025 annual meeting and join enthusiastic, multi-disciplinary attendees at lectures, poster sessions, and social events. In addition to attending the entire annual meeting, there will be several sessions specifically designed for awardees to learn about the field of DBP.
Note: submission and acceptance process is closed for 2025.
This program is supported by the family of Dr. Nancy Packert Shashaty, an other-centered developmental-behavioral pediatrician who was dedicated to enhancing the lives of children with disabilities. She was successful in this endeavor because of her kindness, empathy, generosity, intelligence, pragmatism, optimism, humor, and ability to interact with people regardless of their station in life, cultural background, ability to comprehend or degree of fear.
The SDBP Research Scholars Symposium is an intensive, 2-day "research in progress" program for advanced trainees in developmental-behavioral pediatrics and all related fields (see eligibility below) and early career faculty. The Symposium is led by interprofessional, senior SDBP leadership who have significant research experience. Key components include review of scholars' proposals in small groups, presentations of methodology for developing projects, research topical lectures, panel discussions, and opportunities for networking.
Note: submission and acceptance process is closed for 2025.
Target audience: Advanced trainees and early career professionals in developmental-behavioral pediatrics, general pediatrics, psychology, and any other medical, psychological, educational or allied health professional fields with a strong interest in building research skills related to child development, behavior or mental health developmental sciences.
Eligibility: Eligible advanced trainees are those who have completed doctoral degrees (e.g., MD, PhD, PsyD) or other degrees that are considered terminal in their field and who are currently participating in postdoctoral education programs that include a significant research component (including DBP and other subspecialty fellowships). Applicants must already be participating in any such postdoctoral education program at the time they apply to participate in the RSS. For example, 1st and 2nd year DBP fellows would be eligible, but current residents would not be eligible even if they have already been accepted into their fellowships. Eligible junior faculty are those who have completed training (e.g., DBP fellowships or postdoctoral research programs) in the last 5 years.
