Accelerate the Pace of Progress
Private foundations speed advances that benefit people by funding research at all stages, from initial discovery through clinical trials. Landmark scientific achievements often begin as high-risk pilot projects, and private support for these endeavors can be pivotal in their ultimate success. Foundation support also leverages scientific knowledge, helping move fundamental discoveries from the laboratory to the clinic.
