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 academic partners on Fred Hutch-led research consortia
- University of Washington collaborations, by far the largest single flow
- Biostatistics, data coordination and clinical trial operations support
- Multi-site cancer center networks: MSK, Duke, Stanford, MD Anderson, Dana-Farber
- Blood and marrow transplant infrastructure: NMDP, New York Blood Center
- Vaccine, HIV and infectious disease consortium sites, including military medicine
Typical grant
Median payment is about $53,575, with the middle half between $17,136 and $226,301. The very large checks are consortium prime-to-sub flows: $38.4M to University of Washington and $7.8M to Cancer Research and Biostatistics in a single year dwarf everything else, while most academic sites land between $50,000 and $700,000. With 737 payments to 286 recipients over four years, repeat payment to the same institution is the norm rather than the exception, because these are multi-year subaward drawdowns, not annual discretionary grants.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “Research Support/Subawards”
- “Regents of the University of”
- “Board of Trustees of”
- “Research Foundation”
- “Cancer Center and Research Institute”
Positioning adjacent work
- This is subaward money, not philanthropy. Get named as a site on a Hutch-led consortium application, not a grant request.
- Connect to their transplant, vaccine or biostatistics networks; those recur across NMDP, New York Blood Center, and CRAB.
- Size a site budget in the $50,000 to $700,000 range per year; that matches most academic subawards.
- Emphasize multi-site trial capability, data coordination capacity, or access to a population their network lacks.
Worth knowing: This is a cancer center distributing federal and consortium research dollars downstream, so almost every recipient is a university, hospital, or research contractor already on a Fred Hutch-led project. University of Washington alone takes a plurality of the total, and money follows existing scientific collaborations and prime-award structures rather than open review, so relationships with Hutch investigators are the actual entry point.
Top recipients
Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
