ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
The Power of Science
For over 60 years, the Salk Institute has pursued Jonas Salk’s vision of bold, collaborative science tackling some of the biggest challenges facing humankind. Innovations at Salk have led to new medicines, cutting-edge scientific methods and profound insights into human biology. The Campaign for Discovery builds on Salk’s six decades of scientific discovery to turn dreams into reality and advance Salk’s pursuit of science into the next century.
The seven pillars of Salk’s Campaign for Discovery aim to:
Drive discoveries in six critical research areas: cancer, healthy aging, plant biology, immunobiology, neuroscience, and computational biology.
Recruit and support outstanding faculty members
Augment shared technology centers
Support research trainees
Provide internal seed funding to launch creative new research projects and translate discoveries into clinical applications
Spur innovation by diversifying the STEM pipeline
Enable creativity and sustainability with flexible funding
