Areas of Impact
By giving to support Science Changing Life, you help our scientists shape a healthier future. Discover how contributing toward education, foundational and translational science, and general support make a powerful difference across the institute.
How you can sustain vital biomedical research
As a nonprofit independent research institute, Scripps Research relies on our community’s unrestricted giving (or donating without directing the gift to a specific area), which allows our institute to bridge funding gaps, adapt to address pressing health concerns and navigate the rapidly changing landscape around traditional funding sources.
Education outreach and internships
Through our educational outreach and internship programs, we seek to ignite scientific curiosity in budding researchers, equip future scientists with new skills and expose students of all backgrounds to a broad range of career paths in science.
Graduate education
At the Skaggs Graduate School of Chemical and Biological Sciences, our expert faculty are educating and inspiring the next generation of scientists, who are already advancing the world of science in profound ways.
Postdoctoral training
Postdoctoral scholars come to Scripps Research from around the world to train with our esteemed faculty and gain the skills necessary to move forward in their scientific careers.
How you can empower students’ curiosity
You can support the education and training of students across their scientific journeys in several ways, including fellowships, philanthropic awards, internship support and general programmatic support. Contact a team member at the Office of Philanthropy at (800) 788-4931 or philanthropy@scripps.edu for more information on how to best direct your giving.
Scientific discovery
Since its founding in 1924, the institute has grown into a global leader of biomedical research—with faculty winning six Nobel prizes over the years. In our six departments (Chemistry, Immunology and Microbiology, Integrative Structural and Computational Biology, Molecular and Cellular Biology, Neuroscience and Translational Medicine), scientists are investigating fundamental scientific questions through cutting-edge approaches to improve the human experience.
Drug discovery
At the Calibr-Skaggs Institute for Innovative Medicines, teams are working to translate scientific discovery into life-changing medicines, impacting patients across a spectrum of disease areas, including cancer, aging-related diseases, neurological conditions and others.
Individualized and digital medicine
At the Scripps Research Translational Institute, our scientists are combining tools of genomics and digital medicine with the latest informatics techniques to better understand each individual patient and improve diagnostics, preventative care and personalized treatments.
How you can aid critical advancements from bench to bedside
You can support innovative research that is pushing the frontiers of science and medicine by empowering faculty through endowed chairs, kickstarting early-career scientists through the Scripps Research Fellows Program, fueling critical shared equipment and expertise through our unique core facilities, and more.
