Summary
This funding program is designed to support early-stage and ongoing scientific investigations in pediatric healthcare, reaching researchers and institutions both in the U.S. and internationally. Awards are available through several funding tracks, including career‑development support for emerging investigators, project‑based grants aimed at hypothesis‑driven lab or clinical studies, summer fellowships for students, and infrastructure grants to enhance research capacity. Some funding streams specifically support researchers based in low‑ and middle‑income countries, offering multi‑year awards to help build local expertise and advance regional research efforts.
Eligible applicants typically include nonprofit research centers, universities, and hospitals. Individual early-career scholars—such as doctoral-level investigators or medical trainees—may also be supported, especially when affiliated with eligible institutions. Summer fellows (undergraduate or graduate students) receive stipends to pursue pediatric‑focused research during a summer program . Awards for career advancement can provide over $110,000 per year for multiple years toward salary and research costs.
Project grants offer around $100,000 per year, typically for two years, to support defined scientific goals—whether at the bench, clinic, or population‑level studies. Meanwhile, infrastructure grants help institutions expand research opportunities, such as building clinical trial capacity or acquiring specialized equipment.
The program’s intent is to fuel high‑quality childhood health research at all stages—from initial discovery to clinical application—while also developing the next generation of pediatric health researchers worldwide. Whether you're an independent scholar, part of a collaborative research network, or seeking to build institutional infrastructure, this opportunity aims to amplify your impact through sustained funding, peer review, and mentorship support.
