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

Research subawards to academic partners on federally funded studies
Blood and marrow transplant registry and clinical trials data work
Community engagement subawards to Wisconsin nonprofits, tribes, and municipalities
Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin health improvement projects statewide
Medical education partnerships and research trainee stipends
HIV care and services in Milwaukee

Typical grant

Median grant is about $82,000, with the middle half between $29,000 and $180,000. The very large checks go to research infrastructure partners on multi-site studies, led by National Marrow Donor Program at $10.8 million and Emmes at $3.6 million, plus seven-figure sums to UW Madison, Marquette, and Versiti. Community engagement and Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin awards cluster in the $90,000 to $500,000 band, and with 754 grants to 322 recipients the same partners clearly recur year over year.

Their words

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

“RESEARCH SUBAWARD”
“COMM ENG SUBAWARD”
“ADVANCE HEALTH WI”
“RES SUB/AHW/TRAIN”
“RES SUB/MED EDUC”

Positioning adjacent work

Frame the ask as a subaward on an MCW-led federal project, not a standalone grant request.
If Wisconsin-based, connect to the community engagement or Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin line rather than basic science.
Ask in the $75,000 to $200,000 range for a first subaward; seven figures follows established registry roles.
Name a specific MCW faculty collaborator and the parent study; nearly all dollars flow through existing research relationships.

Worth knowing: This is an academic medical center passing through sponsored research dollars, so almost every award is a subaward tied to a project MCW already leads. Wisconsin takes 352 of 754 grants, and out-of-state money concentrates in a handful of large research institutions and two data coordinating partners that absorb a large share of the total.
