Membership in the Gates Center is open to researchers who are currently conducting research in regenerative medicine and stem-cell biology. The Gates Center serves as a virtual hub maintaining a website (www.gatescenter.org), conducting a seminar series and providing services that are designed to promote and support its members, such as fundraising, marketing, public relations, intellectual property protection and business planning.
As of December 31, 2014, Gates Center members had received a total of over $118 million in research funding, 76% of which was from the NIH. The balance was from the Department of Defense, Veterans Affairs Administration, American Cancer Society, the Dermatology Foundation, partnering hospitals and others. In 2014, Gates Center members were awarded over $23 million in new funding detailed in the table below. The research funding illustrated in the graph above shows significant year-to-year variations, which can be misleading because most of the awards received are paid out over a three-to-five-year period. Due to cuts in overall federal spending, however, the Gates Center is genuinely concerned about prospects for the renewal of these grants at the end of three to five years and is looking at a number of research-funding alternatives that will make its members less dependent on the NIH and other federal funding sources.
