    CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL LOS ANGELES 2016 InsertThe Saban Title Here Research Institute The Saban Research Institute comprises basic, translational and clinical research at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles—one of the few freestanding pediatric hospitals in the country where scientific inquiry is combined with clinical care devoted exclusively to children. The Institute’s interdisciplinary research is organized around areas that fully explore the developmental origins of health and disease and address the most pressing national child health issues. Originally established in 1992, The Children’s Hospital Research Institute became The Saban Research Institute in 2003 following a transformative gift in support of pediatric research made by Cheryl Saban, PhD, Haim Saban and The Saban Family Foundation. In fiscal year 2015, The Saban Research Institute received $32.7 million (prime and subawards) in National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding and $74.8 million in total funding. The Saban Research Institute ranks eighth in the nation among children’s hospitals in NIH funding. The Saban Research Institute and CHLA maintain strong scientific and strategic affiliations with the University of Southern California (USC) and the Keck School of Medicine of USC, where our physicians and scientists hold faculty appointments.
