Based on grants this organization reported to the IRS for tax years 2021–2024. This is what they filed, not a complete record of their giving, and recent years may be incomplete because filings lag.

Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Subawards to affiliated Lifespan hospitals: Rhode Island, Miriam, Butler
Aging and long-term care research consortia (AHCA, Hebrew Rehabilitation Center)
Academic medical center partners for multi-site clinical trials
Social science and policy collaborators: RAND, Census Bureau, Innovations for Poverty Action
Rhode Island community health organizations: Free Clinic, Amos House, RIPHI
Environmental and marine science partners such as Gulf of Maine Research Institute

Typical grant

Median payment is $92,699, with the middle half falling between $32,637 and $237,066. The seven-figure checks go to consortium hubs on large multi-site aging and nursing home studies and to Brown's own teaching hospitals; the small ones are single-site data collection or community partner roles. Because these ride on multi-year federal awards, the same recipients reappear year after year with similar amounts.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“SUBCONTRACT GRANT”
“OFFICE OF RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION”
“OFFICE OF SPONSORED PROGRAMS”
“GRANTS AND CONTRACT FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION”
“RESEARCH AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT”

Positioning adjacent work

Treat this as subaward flow, not philanthropy. Get named as a site on a Brown PI's federal proposal.
Aging, nursing home, and dementia care research draws the largest subcontracts. Connect adjacent work there.
Size a site budget at $30,000 to $240,000 per year; that matches most of their payments.
Route the conversation through your sponsored programs office early; every recipient here is an institutional research administration unit.

Worth knowing: This is a university passing federal research dollars to subaward partners, so the record reflects Brown faculty collaborations rather than any grantmaking priority. Money concentrates heavily in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and Brown's affiliated hospitals (Rhode Island Hospital, Miriam, Butler, Women and Infants) plus a handful of aging research partners absorb a large share of the total.
