Mission & Focus Areas
The Institute’s mission is to understand the roots of disease and close the gap between new biological insights and impact for patients. Its stated work includes research into the causes of common and rare diseases, development of potential therapeutic interventions, and dissemination of scientific knowledge.
The Institute identifies cancer research as a philanthropic priority. Projects for which it seeks philanthropic partners include research on drug resistance and therapeutic targets, improved disease models, drug leads for difficult-to-treat cancers, patient sharing of genomic and health information, and diagnostic technologies.
Its 2025 grants show support for research and related activities at universities, hospitals, research centers, and other organizations. For example, MIT describes its mission as advancing knowledge and educating students; Geisinger Clinic says it aims to provide affordable, high-quality health services and support research and education; and the New York Genome Center describes its work as using advanced genomics to understand the genetic basis of disease.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, the Institute reported 77 grants totaling $86,001,571. Grant amounts ranged from $8,419 to $15,751,441, with a median of $300,837.
