Core Tip	Acquiring biopsies for research purposes during a colonoscopy may facilitate translational research in the field of gastroenterology. However, the safety profile of acquiring research biopsies has not been established. Our study is the first to conclude that acquiring additional biopsies for research during a colonoscopy does not pose additional risk to the pediatric patient. This manuscript may serve as a reference to researchers applying for IRB approval in biological specimen studies. Additionally, our study is additive to the body of literature on outcomes after pediatric colonoscopy, in that minor gastrointestinal symptoms were the only reported adverse event after colonoscopy.
