Case Study: University of Pittsburgh achieves NIH research success with Chartis program management

University of Pittsburgh secures $123.4M in additional NIH funding with The Chartis Group

The University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) faced the challenge of managing multiple large-scale, multi-institution research programs with limited budgets and resources. To remain competitive for future National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding, Pitt needed a strategic program management approach to deliver timely results. They partnered with The Chartis Group for assistance.

The Chartis Group co-created a solution by operationalizing three research programs, beginning with grant applications. They implemented unique governance structures, communication platforms, and NIH reporting protocols. This approach resulted in Pitt securing $123.4 million in additional cumulative funding across three programs, receiving multiple funding extensions over 10 years, and solidifying its reputation as a top-ten NIH-funded institution.
