    About Commonspirit Health Research Institute

    Commonspirit Health Research Institute’s largest recent grant in the file was $179,642 to Chi - Iowa Corp (Mercy Des Moines) for program services, a good indicator of how the institute supports operational and service-delivery work inside health systems. Its recent awards also show repeat support for the same recipients: Trihealth appears at $147,790 in 2023 and $60,192 in 2024, while St Vincent Infirmary Medical Center received $131,934 in 2023 and $96,103 in 2024. That pattern suggests an ongoing relationship rather than isolated awards. The institute’s stated work centers on health equity, population health, social determinants of health, community health initiatives, research implementation and evaluation, and education and workforce development. Its grant language and active programs reinforce that mix: funding is routed through initiatives such as the Community Investment Program, the Lloyd H. Dean Institute for Humankindness & Health Justice, and education-focused efforts tied to workforce development. The recipient list is dominated by health system entities and related institutions, including Dignity - St Joseph Hospital-Phoenix AZ, Saint Joseph Health System Inc, and Saint Francis Medical Center. Program services is the grant purpose shown across the recent awards, indicating support that is tied to specific organizational functions and local delivery needs rather than unrestricted individual giving.

    What Commonspirit Health Research Institute Funds

    Health equity and social determinants of health are central to the institute’s giving. One example is $102,169 to Dignity - St Joseph Hospital-Phoenix AZ for program services, which fits the Community Investment Program’s focus on institutions and projects that address social determinants of health and promote total community health. Research and evaluation also appear in the institute’s active work through the Lloyd H. Dean Institute for Humankindness & Health Justice, which convenes and catalyzes education, training, research, and evaluation initiatives. On the grant list, Dignity- Uc Davis Med Ctr California in Merced received $46,220 in 2023 and $45,425 in 2024, showing continued support for a specific health-system partner. Workforce development is another visible theme. The CommonSpirit Equity Impact Scholarship is a $3 million scholarship program for healthcare leadership, education and training, and workforce development, while the More in Common Alliance is a 10-year, $100 million partnership to increase the development of Black and minority physicians across CommonSpirit markets.

    Typical grant size sits around a median of $46,220, with the middle half of grants between $13,153 and $60,192. The recent list shows mostly project-specific program-services awards rather than broad operating support. Several recipients appear in more than one year, including Trihealth, St Vincent Infirmary Medical Center, Chi - Iowa Corp (Mercy Des Moines), Dignity - St Joseph Hospital-Phoenix AZ, Dignity- Uc Davis Med Ctr California, Saint Joseph Health System Inc, Centura, Franciscan Health System, and Saint Francis Medical Center. That repeat pattern points to ongoing institutional relationships. Commonspirit Health Research Institute does not fund individuals and the active-program list shows a mix of invitation-based initiatives and some programs that accept unsolicited requests.
