OCHIN is a national nonprofit consultancy committed to delivering knowledge-driven solutions that advance well-being and good health for everyone, with a focus on expanding access to quality, affordable, patient-centered care for rural and medically underserved communities.
Ochin Inc’s grantmaking is shaped by research networks and health system infrastructure, with large awards tied to AIM AHEAD, PCORI ADVANCE, CEAL, and HCCN work. The foundation backs universities, community health centers, and health center networks that support rural and medically underserved communities through research, technical assistance, and care delivery improvement. Recent grants show a pattern of funded contracts and research grants rather than individual support, with projects spanning clinical research, health IT, and population health. Among the larger recent awards, Morehouse School received $431,022 for AIM AHEAD research, and North Carolina Central University received $338,238 for another AIM AHEAD grant. Ochin Inc also funded Oregon Health & Sciences University repeatedly, including $284,829 for a CEAL-related research contract and $165,651 for PCORI ADVANCE Clinical Research Network work. Fenway Community Health Center Inc appears across multiple years in PCORI ADVANCE awards, reflecting ongoing network participation. The foundation’s work is closely tied to collaborative research and operational support for organizations serving patients in underserved settings.
A clear theme is equity-focused research participation. Ochin Inc gave $431,022 to Morehouse School for a RESEARCH GRANT - AIM AHEAD and $338,238 to North Carolina Central University for RESEARCH GRANT - AIM AHEAD 786, both tied to the effort to expand AI and machine learning equity in health research. The foundation also funds COVID-19-related engagement and research infrastructure. Oregon Health & Sciences University received $284,829 for RESEARCH CONTRACT - CEAL WESTAT 765, while University of Colorado received $99,919 for a RESEARCH GRANT - CEAL WESTAT 765. Another recurring area is practice-based research through PCORI ADVANCE. Fenway Community Health Center Inc received $123,992 for RESEARCH CONTRACT - PCORI ADVANCE CRN 780 and $69,054 for RESEARCH GRANT - PCORI ADVANCE IV. Ochin Inc also supported women’s health work, including $46,590 to Ohsu for RESEARCH GRANT - EVERYWOMAN 888.
Typical grant size sits at $30,768 at the 25th percentile, $51,695 at the median, and $131,107 at the 75th percentile. The recent awards include both research grants and research contracts, with several recipients appearing across multiple years, especially in PCORI ADVANCE and HCCN-related work. That repeat pattern suggests ongoing network-based funding rather than one-off project support. Ochin Inc is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Unsolicited applications are accepted for the OCHIN Health Center Controlled Network program.
