Research Funding

Children’s Research Institute oversees all of the research undertaken at Children’s National Medical Center, including translational, clinical, and community research efforts.

Almost all research conducted at Children’s is funded by grants. In 2006, Children’s current research grants portfolio totaled more than $60 million. Half of that $60 million comes from federal funding via the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Children’s Research Institute is the ninth-highest funded pediatric research institution in the country in terms of NIH funding. It ranks sixth in the country for NIH funding among children’s hospitals.
