Scott & White Memorial Hospital has participated in federal grant activities as a subrecipient on research initiatives, demonstrating engagement in the federal grant ecosystem beyond its primary contracting work. The hospital served as a sub-award recipient on a Kaiser Foundation Hospitals-led grant project, with Katherine Sanchez serving as the Site Principal Investigator for the Administrative Core for Baylor Scott & White Research Institute, a role that involved participation in network governance, strategic planning, data infrastructure activities, and oversight of financial and regulatory compliance for site-specific research activities, as documented in the October 13, 2022 sub-award notice. Additionally, the hospital received a sub-award notice dated August 29, 2022 related to National Institute on Aging (NIA) support to augment a PCORI-funded clinical trial, which involved adding a third intervention arm reflecting usual care and expanding outcomes to include cost and healthcare utilization data from claims data or electronic health records. These grant activities position the hospital as an active participant in federally-funded medical research and clinical trial infrastructure, complementing its core federal contracting operations.
