SUMMARY

In 2004 and 2007, the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) and the University of Wisconsin (UW) School of Medicine and Public Health received endowment funds to provide grants for medical education and research programs and public health programs. From 2009 through 2013, MCW spent $67.5 million and UW spent $67.8 million for medical education and research projects, public health projects, and associated administration. Although we found that both schools generally complied with requirements they had established, we make recommendations to improve each school’s oversight and administration of grant funds.
