Children’s Medical Research Institute strives to improve the health of children through its support of research and education at the Oklahoma Health Center.

Children’s Medical Research Institute is the only non-profit organization in Oklahoma whose sole focus is the advancement of pediatric research and education while providing specialized clinical care for Oklahoma's children. Since our inception in 1983, CMRI has raised and leveraged matching funds to create over $79 million to fund pediatric research, quality specialized clinical care and education programs including collaborative projects with the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine and the Children’s Hospital at OU MEDICAL CENTER in Oklahoma City.

Our current research and education focus areas include: infectious disease, cancer and blood disorders, cystic fibrosis and lung disease, genetic disorders, diabetes and endocrinology, developmental and behavioral pediatrics, clinical child psychology, trauma and pediatric surgery, kidney disease, gastroenterology, pediatric training, ethics in pediatric medicine, and the care for critically-ill newborns and preemies.

Funding for our programs is made possible through the efforts of a dedicated volunteer board and thousands of community volunteers. Through endowments and direct support, we are able to recruit and retain nationally and internationally recognized pediatric physician-scientists to direct research as well as treat patients and train medical students. All funds raised in Oklahoma stay in Oklahoma to better the lives of our kids here at home.
