LA JOLLA\u2014The Salk Institute announced today that it received more than $48 million from 1,100 individual donors and private grant makers in fiscal year 2018 to support the Institute\u2019s groundbreaking science. In addition, government partners (e.g., the National Institutes of Health) provided 47 federal grants totaling more than $55 million to Salk researchers working in the areas of cancer, plant science, neuroscience, metabolism and others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe amount of generosity and confidence that our donors and partners show us through their investments speaks volumes to the caliber of research taking place here,\u201d says Salk President Rusty Gage<\/a>. “It takes significant resources to enable Salk\u2019s many scientific leaders to make important discoveries against some of the most challenging biological issues of our time. The individuals and groups that come alongside us are crucial collaborators in our efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is inspiring to see how our philanthropic partners have invested in our mission,\u201d says Rebecca Newman, vice president of external relations. \u201cThe partnership of our donors allows us to move forward and continue to make progress in addressing humanity\u2019s greatest challenges\u2014from cancer and neurodegenerative disease to climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Salk\u2019s fundraising was highlighted by several key gifts throughout the year, with many coming from the Institute\u2019s leadership. These included a gift of $2 million from Salk Board of Trustees member Howard Newman in support of the Iniciativa de Aprovechamiento de Plantas<\/a>, a new endeavor that will focus on Salk\u2019s research into using plants to address global issues such as climate instability, demand for food and energy needs.<\/p>\n

In the area of cancer research, Salk Board member Corinne Mentzelopoulos\u2019 $1 million gift seeded the Cancer Center Director\u2019s Endowed Fund in support of Salk Cancer Center\u2019s areas of greatest need. The gift is particularly timely; in December, Salk launched its Iniciativa \u00abVencer al c\u00e1ncer\u00bb<\/a>, a broad strategy spearheaded by Salk\u2019s leadership to take on five of the deadliest cancers: triple-negative breast, pancreatic, lung, ovarian and brain (specifically glioblastoma).<\/p>\n

In addition, Richard Heyman and Anne Daigle donated $1.5 million to establish the Richard A. Heyman and Anne E. Daigle Endowed Developmental Chair, awarded to Assistant Professor Diana Hargreaves<\/a>, who is tackling ovarian and other cancers. \u201cIt is a pleasure,\u201d says Heyman, \u201cto be able to contribute to the work of the scientists who have taken up the torch for Salk. Anne and I want to foster the next generation of researchers and allow them to push the frontiers of medical science.”<\/p>\n

In the area of neuroscience, the Korea-based company NANOS Co., Ltd., made a $1.5 million gift<\/a> to establish the NANOS Alzheimer\u2019s Disease Stem Cell Suite. This suite will be a dedicated laboratory space that will serve as a cell bank focused on Alzheimer\u2019s. This cell bank will house both stem cells and somatic (body) cells from human donors, critical for analysis and testing of therapeutic drugs.<\/p>\n

In addition, significant gifts encompassing important areas of research and need at the Institute were provided by several organizations, including the W. M. Keck Foundation, the Getty Foundation, Padres Pedal the Cause and Stand Up to Cancer, in addition to federal grants.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe interplay between public funding and private giving is critical to Salk\u2019s success. Our partnerships with different funding agencies enable high-risk, high-reward research projects across the entire spectrum of science at Salk, the importance of which can\u2019t be overstated,\u201d says\u00a0Mart\u00edn Hetzer<\/a>, Salk\u2019s vice president and chief science officer.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","faculty":[],"disease-research":[46],"class_list":["post-19436","disclosure","type-disclosure","status-publish","hentry","disease-research-cancer-biology"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSalk\u2019s donors give $48.5 million to support scientific innovation in FY18 - Salk Institute for Biological Studies<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/es\/news-release\/salks-donors-give-48-5-million-to-support-scientific-innovation-in-fy18\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_MX\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Salk\u2019s donors give $48.5 million to support scientific innovation in FY18 - Salk Institute for Biological Studies\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LA JOLLA\u2014The Salk Institute announced today that it received more than $48 million from 1,100 individual donors and private grant makers in fiscal year 2018 to support the Institute\u2019s groundbreaking science.
