Imagine a time when diseases of the present become diseases of the past. Your investment in pediatric research today will lead to care and cures for children who face an uncertain future.
A child’s future relies on research.
Only 12% of federal research dollars support pediatrics. In our region, children are 22% of the population and 100% of the future, and every child deserves the chance to thrive.
While federal research funding is competitive and unpredictable, philanthropic funding empowers our researchers to quickly respond to the most critical needs in pediatrics. A gift to General Research will fuel life-changing medicine for children today, and for future generations.
Scientists at UPMC Children’s are hard at work developing the innovations needed to treat the next generation. Support in these efforts is already leading to major breakthroughs in profiling, and treating, pediatric brain tumors.
Boost retention and recruitment efforts to keep the brightest scientific minds in Pittsburgh.
Accelerate discoveries by equipping researchers with state-of-the-art tools and technology.
Foster innovation by providing each scientist with the resources to pursue bold ideas.
By pooling charitable resources and voting on the recipients of research funding, Children’s Trust members directly change the course of scientific discovery.
Awards benefit early-career scholars, providing the runway to prove viability in research. Of the 15 Children’s Trust recipients, 13 have gone on to receive NIH funding.
Help our scientists unlock the care and cures of tomorrow.
