Giving to JCSMR

The impact of giving

We are working towards scientific discoveries that will help us prevent and cure a range of diseases–from cancer to diabetes.

Given the proven track records of our scientists and the outstanding quality of the research that we conduct, it is not surprising that we perform above average when securing competitive funding from government sources. However, for every dollar we receive, we need additional funding to do the research, to purchase equipment, and to maintain our state-of-the-art scientific facilities. Your giving can also support our early career academics with tremendous potential and not yet eligible for Commonwealth funding.
