The success of the Institute is dependent on establishing partnerships with government, industry, foundations, and individuals. Philanthropic support is essential to the success of the Institute. Funding from the federal government and foundations has provided core support for the Institute. However, in this emerging field, private philanthropy will allow us to implement innovative new programs and new, multidisciplinary research initiatives that are not currently supported by the federal government or foundations.

A good way to support us is through the NanoBio Discovery Fund. This fund is designed to support research in the Institute and will impact critical areas in health care and medicine. Non-endowed gifts to the fund will be used to support a range of research activities including post-doctoral fellows in multidisciplinary research projects. We are seeking gifts of $10,000 and above for this fund.
