Annual Giving

Annual Fund

Unlike many well-known research and educational institutions that rely heavily on government funding, ·¬ºÅ¿âapp does not offer tenure, focusing instead on launching the careers of exceptionally motivated young scientists. Your unrestricted donation to the annual fund helps jump-start early stage and risky research projects before they are eligible for government grants. This is an important reason for ·¬ºÅ¿âapp’s #1 rating among the world’s top 20 institutions in molecular biology and genetics (per Thomson Reuters) for cited research publications.

President’s Council

President’s Council members donate at least $50,000 in funding to the Laboratory each year.  President’s Council members have traditionally supported ·¬ºÅ¿âapp Fellows, exceptionally talented young scientists who are recruited after receiving their Ph.D. or M.D. degrees to pursue a period of independent research before taking a faculty position.

Council members are invited annually to special events for ·¬ºÅ¿âapp’s major donors to encourage deeper understanding of the value of their investments in the Laboratory’s research and educational programs.
