Imagine and innovate in BIOMEDICAL and CLINICAL RESEARCH
This is a time for unconstrained innovation. Advances in technology, artificial intelligence, data science, and biomedical research are transforming our understanding of diseases and changing the course of health care. Our leading research ecosystem is poised to propel significant progress, with nine leading basic science departments with the breadth and depth of talent and expertise needed to move the needle across diseases, conditions, traumas, and populations.
Together, we can reimagine research to turn lethal diseases into manageable conditions and leverage hundreds of thousands of patient experiences to inform one person’s treatment. There’s so much potential. Your support will enable us to test hypotheses and get projects over the finish line.
- Our faculty, which includes some of the most-cited scientists in the world, generates an average of 32 peer-reviewed publications per day
- We have been in the top 15 in National Institutes of Health funding for nearly four decades, thanks in part to early-stage and sustaining philanthropy
OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPACT
Imagine and innovate in BIOMEDICAL and CLINICAL RESEARCH
Transform medicine through innovation
We seek to fuel research that seizes great potential, leverages data science and artificial intelligence, advances biomedical understanding and drug discovery, and so much more. We will foster creativity, curiosity, and inspiration, accelerating the work of scientific entrepreneurs motivated to bring cures and new solutions to patients.
Support top scientists and medical researchers
For faculty members who devote their careers to advancing knowledge to improve health, each gift of support is a vote of confidence. Professorships at every career stage, flexible funding, and innovation grants help us recruit and retain the best scientists and the best teams — catalyzing the most far-reaching achievements.
WHY I GIVE
C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital and their staff of caring professionals saved my grandson’s life. He suffered a year of weekly visits for his chemotherapy. He is currently a 5-year-old, vibrant, and delightful menace.
Fuel bold, collaborative programs and projects
Every dollar given to research contributes to a pipeline of discovery and accelerates progress. Fund high-risk, high-reward projects, help researchers navigate toward outside funding or commercialization, and provide game-changing grants to multidisciplinary or multi-institutional teams that are taking on diseases from childhood cancers to Alzheimer’s disease and stroke.
Expand prevention and health policy research
Medicine is not only about curing disease — we must prevent it. As we seek to expand our focus on prevention and wellness, we are looking at aging and genetics to get ahead of disease. We are asking and answering important questions about kids and technology. We are guiding gun control and opioid policies that reduce harm and save lives. There’s much more. Join us in challenging the status quo and pursuing solutions that enable everyone to live their healthiest life.
