Mission & Focus Areas

MCW’s mission is to educate and develop the next generation of physicians, scientists, pharmacists, and health professionals; discover and translate knowledge in biomedical and health sciences; provide high-quality collaborative patient care; and improve the health of the communities it serves.

Its Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Endowment (AHW) offers funding opportunities for Wisconsin-based partners in biomedical and population health research, health workforce development, and community health. MCW also identifies cancer, heart and vascular health, neuroscience, and ophthalmology among its research areas.

The 2025 grants include research subawards and support connected to research, education, training, and AHW. Recipients span universities, hospitals, and other organizations. For example, Versiti Wisconsin describes its work as integrating science, medicine, and service to advance blood health; Children’s Wisconsin describes its mission as providing comprehensive pediatric care; and Vernon Memorial Healthcare Foundation says it supports healthcare access, wellness, facilities, services, and education in the communities it serves. These are the recipients’ descriptions of their own missions.
