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

Criminal justice research: pretrial, policing, sentencing, community supervision
Health care cost and drug pricing policy analysis for policymakers
Randomized controlled trials and evidence-to-policy infrastructure (J-PAL, MDRC)
Medicare Advantage, dual-eligibles, and insurance market research
K-12 and postsecondary education reform, student lending accountability
Housing supply, zoning reform, fiscal and tax policy analysis

Typical grant

Median grant is $138,933, with the middle half between $50,713 and $297,174. University research projects and evaluations cluster in the $500,000 to $1,000,000 range; the eight-figure checks go to long-term intermediary partners like The City Fund and MDRC receiving general operating support. Repeat funding is heavy, with MIT, RAND, Yale, Penn, Brown, Harvard, Kaiser Family Foundation, and Urban Institute appearing multiple times across years.

Their words

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

“randomized controlled trial”
“to inform policy discussions”
“evidence-based”
“technical assistance to policymakers”
“policy translation”
“nonpartisan”

Positioning adjacent work

Lead with a causal design: RCT or rigorous evaluation, not descriptive work or program delivery.
Name the specific policymaker audience and the decision your findings will inform.
Ask $500K to $1M for a single university research project; larger only with institutional track record.
Connect to a live reform: pretrial assessment, Medicare Advantage payment, zoning, drug pricing, or supervision revocations.
Pair research with a dissemination or technical assistance arm; they fund translation, not just findings.

Worth knowing: Money concentrates in DC think tanks and a small set of elite research universities, and the same institutions recur year after year, so this reads as a relationship-driven portfolio built around known research teams. Recent years show heavy weighting toward health care cost containment and criminal justice evaluation, with education flowing mostly through a few large intermediaries rather than individual scholars.
