Mission & Focus Areas

The filing does not state a mission in the provided information. The hospital’s website says its research, conducted through Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute, aims to generate knowledge and translate advances in preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases affecting children. Research is organized into basic and preclinical science; clinical and community trials; community, population health, and outcomes; and quantitative science.

The hospital also describes community health as part of its work, with initiatives led by the Patrick M. Magoon Institute for Healthy Communities. The institute collaborates with community organizations and addresses root causes of health disparities, while supporting community-engaged outreach and research.

Among the organizations receiving grants in 2025, Lurie Children’s Medical Group Inc. describes its own mission as promoting children’s health through clinical and basic research, coordinated care, physician education, and evidence-based child advocacy. Lurie Children’s Surgical Foundation Inc. says its mission is to provide pediatric and subspecialty surgical, research, and educational services.

Grantmaking

In filing year 2025, the hospital reported 24 grants totaling $211,536,285. The median grant was $819,572; grants ranged from $4,077 to $102,185,976. The largest listed awards included $102,185,976 to Lurie Children’s Medical Group Inc. for mission support; $46,643,520 to Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute, released from restriction; and $17,039,801 to the institute for mission support. Other large awards included $9,407,903 to Lurie Children’s Surgical Foundation Inc. and $8,151,184 to Lurie Children’s Health Services LLC, both for mission support.

The hospital’s research institute also describes internal funding opportunities for its researchers. These awards are intended to help develop projects that can lead to competitive external research applications within 18 months. The Fall 2026 cycle is scheduled to open October 5, 2026, with applications due November 19, 2026. Applicants must have PI-eligible status; the institute’s FAQ says only Lurie Children’s investigators may serve as the main or prime PI on an internal grant award. The Catalyst’s Spark Award is a one-year award of up to $100,000 for specified population health, implementation science, or community-engaged research; its application requires a Catalyst service proposal and an intake meeting. The PACCRI Spark Challenge Grants page lists a February 16, 2026 letter-of-intent deadline, which is past.
