A spirit of collaboration and teamwork typifies the Foundation’s dedicated Board of Trustees which is composed of public members, including those from academic science and medicine, and private industry members. Board members do not participate in the grant selection process in any way and our bylaws stipulate that industry members hold a minority number of seats.
