Associate Program Officer, Biomedical Research Infrastructure: The Trust’s newly launched Program on Biomedical Research Infrastructure is awarding grants to enable new initiatives in health science research – with potential projects ranging from training in bioinformatics to development of shared data platforms – that could lead to discoveries in human health. We seek to support scientists and institutions that demonstrate a commitment to collaborative and cooperative science and to build upon existing technologies and infrastructure.
Associate Program Officer, Basic Medical Research: The Trust’s Basic Biomedical Research Program supports preeminent U.S. scientific institutions with innovative basic research projects that present a discernible path to translation in areas that can materially improve human health. Grantees push the frontiers of decoding disease across a broad array of scientific disciplines, from molecular biology to genomics to stem cells to microbial research, among numerous other fields. The Associate Program Officer will be responsible for substantive programmatic support through the following: review and response to proposals; due diligence tasks for potential grants; managing and writing grant recommendations; monitoring the progress of existing grantees; and research in support of new strategy development.
Associate Program Officer, Type One Diabetes: The Trust’s Type 1 Diabetes Program, which made its first grant in 2009, is committed to improving the lives of all people affected by type 1 diabetes by using a three-pronged approach: understanding the disease, developing better treatments, and improving care and access. We partner with key players across the T1D ecosystem – patients, physicians, researchers, caregivers, other funders, government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, device makers, insurers and grassroots and community organizations – in order to accelerate the development of devices, therapies and services that ease the burden of living with T1D. To date, the program, which has rapidly become the largest private foundation funder in T1D, has made in excess of 350 grants totaling more than $220 million.
