About American Pediatric Surgical Association Foundation
American Pediatric Surgical Association Foundation Inc centers its giving on pediatric surgery, with grants and scholarships that support research, education, training, and capacity-building for infants and children. The foundation’s recent awards show a consistent pattern of $25,000 grants to academic medical institutions, alongside a larger $50,000 grant to the University of Colorado in Aurora, Colorado. That mix points to a funder that backs surgical scholarship and institutional work rather than individual awards. Recent recipients include the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York, Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio, and Regents of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The foundation also supports global pediatric surgery through scholarship programs, including a global research scholarship and a travel fellowship for early-career surgeons from low- and middle-income countries. Its grantmaking connects education, surgical training, and research development within pediatric surgery.
What American Pediatric Surgical Association Foundation Funds
Education appears as a distinct funding lane through the APSA Foundation Education Grant, which supports education-related activities in pediatric surgery and offers awards up to $15,000. The foundation also backs scholarly development through the Jay Grosfeld, MD Scholar Grant, a $25,000 program for pediatric surgery-related scholarly work. Research is another clear emphasis. Recent grants went to Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, and The Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, both listed as grant recipients in prior cycles. A separate global research scholarship supports pediatric surgery research activities outside a U.S.-only frame. Capacity building shows up in the travel fellowship, which is designed for early career surgeons from low- and middle-income countries to attend the APSA Annual Meeting and complete a 4–6 week observership or specialty training at a U.S. or Canadian hospital.
How American Pediatric Surgical Association Foundation Gives
Typical grant size is tightly clustered at $25,000, with the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile all at that level. Recent activity also includes a $50,000 award and a smaller $12,650 education grant, but the core pattern remains standardized mid-sized awards. The foundation appears to make recurring grants to the same types of institutional recipients across multiple years, including 2022 and 2024 grant recipients listed in the recent grants table. It operates through named grant programs rather than individual awards, and one program, the Travel Fellowship, does not accept unsolicited applications.
