Woodruff Foundation Grants $90 Million to Children’s-Emory for Pediatric Research

The Robert W. Woodruff Foundation is making a $90 million grant to solidify Atlanta’s role as a center for pediatric research.

The grant will go to the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (Chlidren’s) and Emory School of Medicine’s Department of Pediatrics to lure leading pediatric researchers to the Atlanta region.

Children’s and Emory, as well as Georgia Tech and other institutions, have been collaborating on pediatric research for 20 years, and together the Pediatric Institute is one of the nation’s top three centers for pediatric research in terms of funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
