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

  • Multi-site biomedical research subawards to academic medical centers
  • Cancer center collaborations: Sloan-Kettering, Dana-Farber, MD Anderson, Moffitt
  • South Florida community health and HIV service organizations
  • Pediatric therapy and early intervention providers across Florida
  • Area Health Education Centers and public health trusts in Florida
  • Small biotech and device firms as research partners

Typical grant

Median payment is $68,012, with the middle half falling between $25,000 and $226,468. The seven-figure checks go to peer research universities serving as consortium sites on large multi-institution studies, with Columbia at $5.4 million and Case Western at $3.2 million leading; the small ones go to Florida community agencies, therapy providers, and clinics delivering study services. With 872 payments to 363 recipients over four years, most partners appear more than once, and site relationships clearly renew across budget years.

Their words

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

  • RESEARCH
  • GENERAL SUPPORT

Positioning adjacent work

  • Approach through a University of Miami principal investigator, not an office; nearly every payment is a research subaward.
  • Match a funded theme: cancer, HIV, pediatric early intervention, or community health services in South Florida.
  • Budget a site scope in the $25,000 to $250,000 range unless you lead a consortium arm.
  • Emphasize capacity to enroll and serve Miami-Dade and Broward populations; that is where the small awards concentrate.

Worth knowing: This is a university moving federal and sponsored research dollars to collaborators, not a foundation with discretionary philanthropy; the single non-research item in view is $5 million in general support to Ronald McDonald House Charities in Miami. Florida recipients dominate by count, but the largest dollars leave the state to peer research institutions, so proximity helps for service contracts and scientific fit helps for the big ones.

Top recipients

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