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

  • Subaward research payments to academic medical centers and universities
  • Pediatric multi-site clinical and translational research networks
  • Genomics, data platforms, and informatics vendors (Seven Bridges, Flywheel)
  • Pediatric oncology and cell/gene therapy collaborations
  • Philadelphia-area partners: Penn, Temple, Drexel, Penn State Hershey
  • Early childhood and school-based sites supporting study recruitment

Typical grant

The median payment is about $77,000, with the middle half between $22,000 and $258,000. The very large checks, led by $14 million to the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania and multi-million awards to Colorado, Stanford, and Seven Bridges Genomics, go to core institutional partners and consortium leads rather than one-off projects. With 753 payments to 409 recipients over four years, most relationships repeat year over year as multi-year subawards draw down.

Their words

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

  • RESEARCH

Positioning adjacent work

  • Treat this as CHOP subaward flow, not open philanthropy; pursue a named CHOP investigator as prime collaborator.
  • Anchor to pediatric consortium themes: oncology, genomics, immunology, or shared data platforms already funded.
  • Ask in the $50,000 to $300,000 range for a site or core; reserve seven figures for consortium lead roles.
  • Emphasize multi-site enrollment capacity or a data/analytics core other children's hospitals in this list need.

Worth knowing: Nearly all of this money is research subcontracting from an academic children's hospital, so it follows existing collaborations and NIH-style consortium structures rather than a discretionary grants program. Pennsylvania dominates by count and Penn alone takes a very large share, with the rest concentrated in a stable set of children's hospitals and R1 medical schools plus a few genomics and biomanufacturing vendors.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
