In the area of medical research, independent third-party research is the exception, not the rule. It is not uncommon in research that grantors have direct contact with researchers. This relationship can potentially drive, steer or unduly influence the research.
A number of leaders from the scientific and research community strongly believed that an independent third party was critically needed to protect the integrity of the research, the researcher and the grantor. The Institute for Science and Health was founded on this vision. By being this third party, the Institute provides a service that is rarely available in the medical research world.
Benefactors who seek to fund objective research can maximize their impact by partnering with the Institute. In addition, the Institute encourages young investigators (post-doctoral fellows and pre-tenured faculty) to participate in our Research Program Initiatives. Such young researchers often have scientifically sound ideas that may not otherwise get funded, and thus the Institute for Science and Health offers these individuals the opportunity to engage with the larger scientific community by competing for grant support on an equal basis.
