The Asmund Slaedral Foundation concentrates its giving on improving acute pediatric and critical care outcomes through research, program development, and implementation of resuscitation and delivery-room interventions. Its grants fund clinical networks and professional societies that drive practice change (e.g., pediatric resuscitation alliances and delivery-room intervention networks) and also support efforts to reduce sepsis mortality in low-resource settings. Giving is targeted and programmatic rather than broad-based philanthropy.
A single sepsis-focused award stands out in Asmund Slaedral Foundation Inc’s recent giving: $350,925 to the Society of Critical Care Medicine for reducing mortality from sepsis in low-resourced settings. That grant fits a broader pattern of practical, programmatic support for interventions meant to change clinical outcomes rather than fund open-ended philanthropy. The foundation’s work centers on acute pediatric and critical care, especially neonatal and pediatric resuscitation, delivery-room intervention, and the translation of evidence into practice. Recent grants also include two installments to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute for the Pediatric Resuscitation Alliance, indicating support for sustained implementation work over multiple years. Another grant to the American Academy of Pediatrics supported the Delivery Room Intervention and Evaluation Network, showing interest in networks that test and spread clinical practice improvements. The foundation also backs professional societies and training-oriented initiatives, including the Global Resuscitation Academy and named recognition in critical care.
In sepsis and critical care, Asmund Slaedral Foundation Inc awarded $350,925 to the Society of Critical Care Medicine for reducing mortality from sepsis in low-resourced settings. In pediatric resuscitation, it gave $75,000 to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute for the Pediatric Resuscitation Alliance, with a second $75,000 installment the next year. Delivery-room improvement is another visible theme: the American Academy of Pediatrics received $75,000 for the Delivery Room Intervention and Evaluation Network. The foundation also supports workforce development and dissemination, including $45,425 to the Resuscitation Academy for the Global Resuscitation Academy. These grants point to an emphasis on implementation, clinical networks, and education rather than stand-alone service delivery.
Typical grant size is $25,212 at the 25th percentile, $75,000 at the median, and $75,000 at the 75th percentile, which suggests a cluster around mid-sized awards with a larger outlier. The recent record shows repeated support to the same grantee across 2023 and 2024, including two installments for the Pediatric Resuscitation Alliance, so some grants appear structured as multi-year commitments. The foundation funds individuals and makes no program-related investments. Unsolicited applications are accepted across the listed programs, including project grants, general research grants, program support, and the named stipend pathway.
