Our Donors

All FNIH donors play a critical role in providing the resources that are vital to our success. Unrestricted gifts allow us the flexibility to place them where they are most needed, from supporting core operations to developing new partnerships and emerging program ideas. Donors also can choose to restrict their gifts to one area of interest, such as a biomedical research program; a fellowship, lecture or symposium that trains scientists and helps them build their careers; or a specific laboratory or area of scientific research at the NIH.

We are grateful to the many individuals and organizations who made donations, gifts and pledges in 2014. Every attempt is made to list donors according to their wishes. For a more complete list of donors, funds and endowments, visit fnih.org/about/foundation/annual-reports. Please call 301.402.4976 if you have any questions.

Of every dollar spent, 94 cents are used to support programs and just six cents for administration and fundraising.

[_/su_spoiler]
MEMORIAL FUNDS

Memorial funds create a living legacy. In many cases a family member may request that friends and relatives make donations—rather than send flowers—to support a chosen cause in memory of a loved one. Families may wish to go one step further and establish a fund that embodies a loved one’s passion and spirit by making a significant investment in the Foundation.

Dr. John L. Barr Memorial Fund
This fund helps to support the Intramural Research Training Award Fellowship Program at the NIH Clinical Center’s Pain and Palliative Care Service. The goal of the fellowship is to conduct research on pain and palliative care and to encourage young investigators to become more familiar with the importance of this field of study.

Adam J. Berry Memorial Fund
This fund was established by Michael and Sue Berry in memory of their beloved son, Adam. Adam came from Australia to work as a research scientist at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The fund commemorates his life and his enthusiasm for work by making it possible for promising young Australian scientists to travel to the United States and work at the NIH.

Edna Williams Curl and Myron R. Curl Fundfor Multiple Sclerosis Research
Established in 2007, this fund supports multiple sclerosis research at NIH.

John Laws Decker Memorial Fund
A former director of the NIH Clinical Center, Dr. John Laws Decker strived during his lifetime to accelerate important scientific research by linking research communications around the world. His dedication led the NIH to establish an annual lecture in his name. This fund, established by the Decker family, supports an event for the lecturer each year.

Tracy’s Toy Box
Established by the family in memory of Tracy Nadel, this fund purchases toys and activities for children staying at the Edmond J. Safra Family Lodge. These items help make their time at the Lodge more comfortable and pleasant.

Dean R. O’Neill Renal Cell Cancer
Research Fund
This fund supports a fellowship in the laboratory of tumor immunology headed by Richard Childs, M.D., at NHLBI. The postdoctoral cancer investigator funded by the program conducts research on the treatment of renal cell (or kidney) cancer. Family and friends of the late Dean O’Neill established the fund; more information can be found at www.renalcellcancer.org. The family also organizes the annual Boo! Run for Life 10K race and two-mile walk to support the fund. Information about the Boo! Run, held annually in October, can be found at www.boorunforlife.com.

Dr. Edward T. Rancic Memorial Fund
This fund supports a post-doctoral fellowship that focuses on renal cell cancer research in the laboratory of tumor immunology headed by Richard Childs, M.D., at NHLBI. The fellowship was established in memory of Dr. Edward Rancic by his family.

Dr. Anita Roberts Memorial Fund
Widely recognized as an outstanding mentor, encouraging and inspiring young scientists, Dr. Roberts was one of the first female laboratory chiefs at the NIH and ranked in the top 50 most-cited biological scientists in the world. Her family and laboratory colleagues established the fund to allow graduate students and post-doctoral fellows to present their work at a national meeting, typically the TGF-beta Keystone Symposium. These scholarships are a fitting tribute to Dr. Roberts’ passion for encouraging the career development of young scientists.

Robert Whitney Newcomb Memorial Fund
This fund was established by the family to remember Dr. Newcomb, who began his scientific career at the NIH as a high school summer intern in a laboratory at the NCI. The fund endows an annual lecture by a recognized expert in neuroscience, selected by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). Honoring Dr. Newcomb’s own experience, it also provides for internships for high school students and fellowships at NINDS.

Stephen J. Solarz Memorial Fund
Nina Solarz established this fund in memory of her husband, former Congressman Steve Solarz, to support the research of Dr. David Schrump at NCI. Dr. Schrump’s pioneering research in the field of thoracic oncology led to the treatments that allowed Mr. Solarz to live years beyond what otherwise would have been possible. Before he died, Nina and her family dedicated themselves to supporting Dr. Schrump’s research so that other patients might benefit by even better treatments.

Stephen E. Straus Fund
Established by Bernard and Barbro Osher in 2006, this fund honors the founding director of the NIH’s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), the late Dr. Stephen E. Straus. It supports the Stephen E. Straus Distinguished Lecture in the Science of Complementary and Alternative Medicine, an annual lecture that brings leading figures in science and medicine to the NIH to speak about their perspective on the field. Open to the public, the lecture is videocast and archived on the NCCAM website.

Sallie Rosen Kaplan Fund for
Women Scientists in Cancer Research
The Kaplan Fund, established in 2000, provides support for the retention and mentoring of outstanding female cancer research scientists in the field. The program is managed by the National Cancer Institute.

Norman P. Salzman Memorial Fund
Dr. Salzman’s family, colleagues and friends remember the legacy of this noted pioneer in molecular biology through contributions to this fund, which supports the annual Norman P. Salzman Memorial Award and Symposium in Virology. The half-day symposium addresses key topics in virology and immunology and presents an award to a young researcher, in recognition of Dr. Salzman’s mentorship of so many younger scientists.
