The Cooper Trewin Foundation proudly supports Robert’s Program on Sudden Unexpected Death in Pediatrics (SUDP) at Boston Children’s Hospital.

Robert’s Program is a world-leading clinical and research service for families whose child has died suddenly and unexpectedly, without a known cause – including SIDS, SUDC, SUDEP, and unexplained sudden cardiac death in the young. Their mission is to understand the causes behind these deaths, particularly in the first three years of life when the risk is greatest, while offering compassionate, ongoing support to grieving families.

Through interdisciplinary research and genetic investigation, Robert’s Program is working to uncover the underlying mechanisms behind sudden, unexplained childhood deaths – striving to bring answers to families and to transform how the medical community understands and responds to these losses. No case is ever considered “closed,” and the team welcomes ongoing contact from families as new research emerges.

By supporting Robert’s Program, the Cooper Trewin Foundation is helping fund the kind of world-class research that brings us closer to answers, for the families who’ve lost a child, and for those who might be spared this loss in the future.
