Collaborative, mission-driven, results-oriented, and strategic in their use of capital, these groups are motivated solely by moving promising therapies from the laboratory bench to the patient’s bedside as rapidly as possible – even those that do not directly fund therapy development. For too long, our national research enterprise has been dominated by long-term investment in low-risk, low-yield, but reliable bonds. These new disease research organizations represent a diversification of our national research portfolio with a variety of high-risk, high-reward ventures. Nonprofit organizations can support alliances that typically would not be supported through public investments, such as with for-profit companies. They can bridge disciplines, institutions, and ideas when the opportunity arises and in record time. Because of their close relationships with the patient communities, their ability to move quickly to address emerging translational and clinical opportunities and their capacity to leverage public investment, these organizations can catalyze and jump-start innovation. Moreover, they can serve as a reliable source of funds for novel, high-risk research that might not be able to compete successfully for public funds. Because they are closer to the patients and therefore closer to the problems needing solutions, innovative nonprofit funders have heightened awareness of the importance of translational and clinical research programs. Increasingly, they are forming a unified advocacy front on key public policy issues affecting the pace of research, such as privacy regulations, intellectual property challenges, and the resolution of ethical issues.
Free of the pressures of publication and career advancement in academia and the bottomline imperatives of the private sector, nonprofit foundations are ideally positioned to make relatively high-risk investments that could significantly move a field of research forward and increase the likelihood that other parties also will invest.
