The Office of Institutional Advancement Corporate and Foundation Relations

• The Corporate and Foundation Relations (CFR) team offers services

for Jefferson clinicians, researchers, and administrators who seek external funding from non-federal sources including: corporations with philanthropic intent, charitable foundations and associations

• Our team maintains relationships with local and national

corporations and foundations to keep them informed of the work being done by Jefferson researchers and scientists

What We Do: Identify & Disseminate Research and Program Funding Opportunities

CFR researches and informs faculty of current RFP & LOI opportunities through various platforms:

• Directly through our gift officer network
• Through department chairs
• Publishing online to the TJU Research web page
• Direct email to faculty

CFR serves as a resource to faculty on non-federal grant applications

• Liaison for PI/RACE/ORA/Foundation

Institutionally Competitive Grants

• Some foundations limit the number of applicants per institution. An internal

competition will be managed through a subcommittee to select the Jefferson applicant for each.

• Please DO NOT apply directly — unsolicited applications may disqualify Jefferson

from future competitions.

• Limitations vary from foundation to foundation.
• These notices are distributed by OIAFundingOpportunities@Jefferson.edu through

the FT-Faculty, Chairman, and Dept-Admin list-servs. If you are not on one of these three distribution lists, please contact adrea.cope@Jefferson.edu

• These opportunities can be accessed on the Jefferson InfoReady Portal

Funding for Programs/ Programmatic Proposals

• CFR also manages programmatic grant opportunities, led by Emma DelVecchio,

Assistant Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations

• Programmatic proposal- A defined project with measurable outcomes and generally

1-3 year timeline

• Address community-based needs such as food access, health literacy, community outreach etc.
• Enterprise-wide quality-improvement initiatives
• General operating is rare- looking for novelty and impact
• Interdisciplinary teams, patient education or outcomes focused
• Clinical research can be programmatic
• Collaborative process that is often organic, involves multiple decision makers and

levels of review

• Examples:
• Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation – Interdisciplinary lung cancer screening
• Genentech – Lung cancer care coordination
• Edna G. Kynett Memorial Foundation – food buying club
• TD Bank Foundation – CoLab with JeffDESIGN
