From the meeting
A $25 million gift from the Smilow Foundation established the Smilow Center for Precision Therapeutics at Penn Medicine. The center will advance gene-editing and other precision therapies for cardiovascular disease and support first-in-human clinical trials. The decision is made and the funding is in place, which makes this useful for research infrastructure, lab buildout, and adjacent clinical research support follow-on.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will University of Pennsylvania issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks University of Pennsylvania's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with University of Pennsylvania before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account unlocks this pre-RFP's source document, forecasted RFP timing, and verified University of Pennsylvania decision-maker contacts.
