How does the Koch Institute fund its research?
The Koch Institute has benefited from private philanthropic support, including important gifts from David H. Koch ’62, the Virginia and D.K. Ludwig Fund for Cancer Research, and major foundations including the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. It is vital for the Koch Institute to draw upon the support of individuals, corporations, and foundations to achieve its full plan of discovery and translational research. Furthermore, the Koch Institute has received major funding from the NIH, particularly the NCI. In addition to the NCI Center grant, the Koch Institute has successfully competed for several multi-investigator grants, including the Mouse Models of Cancer Consortium, the Integrative Cancer Biology Program, and the Centers for Excellence in Nanotechnology and Cancer.
