LA JOLLA\u2014The Salk Institute announced today that it received more than $89 million from 1,204 individual donors and private grant makers in fiscal year 2019 (ending in June) to support the Institute\u2019s world-renowned science. The amount is the most raised from private donors in the past decade and accounts for 49 percent of Salk\u2019s FY19 revenue.<\/p>\n

In addition, government partners (such as the National Institutes of Health) provided 41 percent of the Institute\u2019s revenue through 39 new federal grants totaling more than $75 million to Salk researchers working in the areas of cancer, plant science, neuroscience, metabolism and others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe financial support we received this past year from donors and public agency partners has been impressive and critical for our mission,\u201d says Salk President and Professor\u00a0Rusty\u00a0Gage<\/a>. \u201cTheir investment in Salk research will assist the overall effort to advance important discoveries on some of the most challenging scientific issues of our time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are deeply grateful for the steadfast support and contributions of our philanthropic partners,\u201d adds Vice President of External Relations Rebecca Newman. \u201cIn amounts large and small our supporters collectively made record-breaking contributions to the research pursued by Salk scientists. The discoveries uncovered in Salk labs will advance our understanding of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

This financial support helped propel dozens of significant scientific discoveries made in Salk\u2019s labs in the fiscal year, including developing a new gene therapy to decelerate the aging process; finding a cellular process that could help stop cancer before it begins; and uncovering why screen time can disrupt sleep.<\/p>\n

Highlighting the Institute\u2019s strong philanthropic support was an announcement that Salk would receive $35 million through The Audacious Project, a highly competitive program housed at the nonprofit TED, to fund Salk\u2019s \u690d\u7269\u5229\u7528\u8ba1\u5212<\/a> (HPI), led by Professor Joanne Chory<\/a>. HPI is an innovative, scalable approach to fight climate change by optimizing a plant\u2019s natural ability to capture carbon and adapt to diverse climate conditions. The initiative aims to grow plants with more robust and deeper roots\u00a0that can store increased amounts of carbon<\/a>\u00a0underground for longer to reduce CO2<\/sub>\u00a0in the atmosphere. Donors through The Audacious Project include the Clara Wu and Joe Tsai Foundation, Chris Larsen and Lyna Lam, Lyda Hill Philanthropies, Genevieve and Steve Jurvetson, Rosamund Zander and Hansj\u00f6rg Wyss for the Wyss Medical Foundation, Joe Gebbia and Isabelle Boemeke, and others. And already, Salk scientists are making progress in this area with a recently uncovered gene<\/a> that regulates root systems.<\/p>\n

Support from private philanthropy for the Institute\u2019s work in neuroscience also included a $19.2 million grant awarded over eight years from the American Heart Association-Allen Initiative in Brain Health and Cognitive<\/a> Impairment to investigate mechanisms underlying Alzheimer\u2019s disease and aging-related cognitive decline and uncover new therapies. An aging-related disorder that results in severe memory loss, Alzheimer\u2019s disease represents a global health crisis with estimates suggesting that\u00a0130 million people will be affected by 2050<\/a>. Salk\u2019s bold venture will entail the multidisciplinary collaboration of 10 different labs to analyze interactions between five areas key to brain health: proteins, genes, metabolism, inflammation and epigenetics.<\/p>\n

In the area of cancer, Salk Board of Trustees Chair, Dan Lewis, and his wife, Martina Lewis, gave $2 million in support of Salk\u2019s \u653b\u514b\u764c\u75c7\u5021\u8bae<\/a>. The initiative was launched just prior to the start of the 2019 fiscal year, on April 20, 2018, with the goal of funding foundational biological research combined with advanced biomedical technologies to overcome hard-to-kill tumors in five of the deadliest cancers, including breast (triple negative), brain (glioblastoma), pancreatic, lung and ovarian.<\/p>\n

In addition, significant gifts encompassing important areas of innovation, research and need at the Institute were provided by organizations including the NOMIS Foundation, Ferring International, Inc. and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s exhilarating to live in this era of accelerated scientific innovation,\u201d says the Institute\u2019s Vice President and Chief Science Officer Martin\u00a0Hetzer<\/a>. \u201cThis year\u2019s success has been a testament to the bold research pursued by Salk\u2019s scientists, and I\u2019m confident our curiosity, dedication and willingness to take risks will yield many more life-changing discoveries.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","faculty":[],"disease-research":[],"class_list":["post-24764","disclosure","type-disclosure","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSalk\u2019s donors give record-breaking $89 million in FY19 to fuel scientific discoveries - 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\/zh\/news-release\/salks-donors-give-record-breaking-89-million-in-fy19-to-fuel-scientific-discoveries\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"zh_CN\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Salk\u2019s donors give record-breaking $89 million in FY19 to fuel scientific discoveries - Salk Institute for Biological Studies\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LA JOLLA\u2014The Salk Institute announced today that it received more than $89 million from 1,204 individual donors and private grant makers in fiscal year 2019 (ending in June) to support the Institute\u2019s world-renowned science.
