Mission
To make grants and provide support benefitting Emory University's Robert W. Woodruff Health Sciences institutions, which includes Emory's schools of medicine, nursing, and public health and its medical research laboratories and hospitals.
Program accomplishments
- More than half of the annual funding distributed by the Woodruff Fund was designated to support the programs and facilities of the Winship Cancer Institute at Emory University. Winship is Georgia's only NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center. Woodruff Fund grants were used to recruit and retain faculty for dual appointments at Emory's medical school and the Winship Cancer Institute and to fund significant faculty research projects in cancer prevention, detection and treatment. More than one-third of the funds dedicated to support programs were used to support Winship's clinical trials program. Other significant allocations of program funds were made for information technology and data management, support of Winship's biostatistics and bioinformatics programs, and for supporting Winship's administration, shared resources, and its NCI cancer center support grant. Almost half of the distributions to Winship are allocated to pay for facilities.In March 2024, the Woodruff Fund made a multi-year commitment to fund an extraordinary effort to grow Winship with a focus on improving the patient experience and better aligning research programs with patient care. Consistent with that commitment, the Woodruff Fund agreed to redesignate to the "Bigger, Better Winship" plan some funds previously paid to support Woodruff Health Sciences facilities and to increase distributions from the Woodruff Fund to Emory in future fiscal years. Accomplishments from this investment include hiring new clinical and research faculty, hiring patient navigators to support patient experience, increased digitization of pathology services and reduced patient wait and trial activation times.Expenses $44,872,295 · grants $44,664,499
- Woodruff Fund grants supported strategic academic and research initiatives in Emory's medical schools and enterprises. Significant support during this fiscal year was directed to Emory's School of Medicine to recruit a new Vice President for Basic and Translational Research and to recruit a new Health Policy and Management Department Chair. The Woodruff Fund also invested in the research areas of brain health, AIDS, diabetes and maternal health, in addition to facility and equipment improvements to the Primate Center and the Biochemistry department. A significant portion of the distributions were used to pay for facilities, including Emory's biomedical research facilities and School of Medicine building.Expenses $17,692,432 · grants $17,610,501
- The Woodruff Fund oversees a separate investment account intended to grow research capacity for the Emory + Children's Pediatric Research Institute. In this fiscal year, the Fund disbursed $4.225 million toward a multi-year plan to recruit pediatric investigators focused on childhood cancer and blood disorders and cardiac and brain medicine.Expenses $4,244,656 · grants $4,225,000
