Funding for the Institute

What are IND Funding Sources?

How funds are applied

IND is a direct research institute, which means that funds provided to us are directly used to pay for researcher salaries and imaging costs associated with the research performed at our New Haven research center. Our administrative and fundraising costs have fallen as a percent of total costs as we have grown, and we anticipate this trend to continue as our growth allows ust to become more efficient in administering the institute.

Overall Performance

Our budget for 2004 is $4 million, which is more than four times the amount we raised in 2001, the year of our founding as an independent research institution. This growth as allowed us to pursue the important new research described elsewhere in 2004 fall spectrum. We could no have come this far without the critical support from the foundations, governmental organizations, corporations, and thousands of individuals who have entrusted us with their time, donations, and goodwill. To all of you supporters of IND, please accept our sincere thanks.
