The CCHR is sponsored and partially supported by the American Academy of Pediatrics. However, the Center functions under its own bylaws and independent board of directors.

This group is composed of not less than 8 nor more than 12 members, and (2) members appointed by the Board of Directors of the American Academy of Pediatrics, limited to 4 and composed usually of the President or President-Elect of the Academy, the Chair of the Academy Board committee that oversees research activities, the Chair of the Council on Pediatric Research and, if appropriate, a member chosen at large.
