Between January 2007 and the end of the 2015 calendar year, Gates Center members had received a total of over $135 million in research grant funding, approximately three quarters of which was from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The balance was from the Department of Defense, Veterans Affairs Administration, American Cancer Society, the Dermatology Foundation, partnering hospitals and others. In 2015, individual Gates Center members were awarded over $16 million in new funding detailed

in the table on pages 20 to 21. Given the variations in grant award numbers that occur from year to year as most awards are paid out over a three to five-year period, and the cuts in overall federal spending, the Gates Center will continue to seek research funding alternatives to make its members less dependent on the NIH and other federal funding sources.

PHILANTHROPY
The Gates Center for Regenerative Medicine is grateful to the individuals, foundations and corporations who give so generously in support of our mission. While federal grants and industry sponsorships will always be critical to our success, philanthropic support is very often the accelerator of innovative, scientific discoveries that fall outside traditional public and private organizational funding parameters.
In 2015, the Gates Center was the grateful beneficiary of $4,374,888 in philanthropic support from benefactors listed on page 43. Unlike the previous year, when the majority of the funds raised provided critical support for the renovation and equipping of the Gates Biomanufacturing Facility, funds raised in 2015 were primarily directed toward the Ocular Stem Cell and Regeneration Program, basic research, the Gates Summer
Internship Program and the Daniel and Janet Mordecai Endowed Chair for Cancer Stem Cell Biology.
