Child Health research institute

The Child Health Research Institute (CHRI), a collaborative venture between UNMC and Children’s Hospital and Medical Center, supports research and child health in Nebraska, across the region and across the globe. Our mission is to improve the health of children through innovative research, collaborative discovery, community engagement and advocacy.

With community partnerships and the help of donors like you, we can improve child health and decrease the impact of diseases and other life altering conditions, such as childhood cancer, cystic fibrosis and prematurity. Children are not just small adults; they need research focused on their specific conditions. Your generous donation will help our pediatric scientists continue current projects and fund new projects as they search for better treatments and cures. Despite the belief that industry and the federal government are the biggest funders of pediatric research, the truth is the majority of funding support across the nation comes from philanthropists like you.

Investing in children and the research that saves and improves their lives results in decades of impact for the child and their families.  We are honored to be a part of this and to work with you. If you have any questions or are interested in how you can support specific child healthcare projects, please contact us:  chri@unmc.edu. Visit our website for more information.
