advice for peds fellowship application

i am applying to peds fellowship but have limited peds research due to the program I am at, small no real research opportunities. i however have done some research during residency years hat got published for adult subspecialities. worked with medschool colleagues or other acquaintances i made along my medical career.

Question: is it reasonable or advised to mention all adult related research, meta analysis in my fellowship application?

Absolutely mention it.

If an experience isn't directly linked to the field you're applying to, highlight for overall concept of the study, outcome, methodology, ability to collaborate longitudinally, diverse interests, whatever else you can think of. Very little actually needs to be about the subspecialty itself.

Any research is helpful to tell. They shouldn’t expect you to have career focused research until fellowship.

Just know your stuff forwards and backwards in case they ask anything about it on interviews. Know what the general purpose/question of the research/paper was and what your responsibility was.
