Researchers Earn PHF Grants

Researchers Earn PHF Grants

In July, researchers at the OU Health Sciences Center received 43 grants, totaling more than $2.7 million, from the Presbyterian Health Foundation, an Oklahoma City grant-making organization that supports biomedical research and education.

PHF awards several different types of grants: bridge, seed, new investigator seed, equipment, team science, research support, symposium, and clinician scientist development. Since 2014, PHF has awarded nearly $16 million to OU Health Sciences Center researchers. With the help of that funding, researchers have secured more than $97.7 million in additional funding.

Also this year, PHF partnered with Harold Hamm Diabetes Center to fund 11 grants totaling $1 million. PHF matched the Diabetes Center’s spending at 25%. This program also supports several types of grants.
