Beginning with the 2024-25 funding cycle, we are pleased to acknowledge the support of two philanthropic foundations:

 

• Our efforts are now being supported by the Koret Foundation.  The Koret Foundation is dedicated to a vibrant Bay Area and thriving Jewish community. 

 

• We have also received support from the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. 

 

The support offered by these philanthropic foundations will cover our full operating expenses for the next five seed-grant funding cycles (through 2029).  Their support has also allowed us to expand our seed grants to include supplemental funding support for undergraduate researchers, extending our training to the students just beginning their journey as scientific investigators.

 

We also thank the Academic Engagement Network (www.academicengagement.org) for their support, as well as the UC Davis Office of Research, which generously donates all of the administrative support for our program.
