>Addgene
USAspending.gov. First grant listed for a search on Addgene was let on Sep 16, 2021 to the Allen Institue by HHS under the 'mental health' banner. The grant proposed a partnership with Addgene and involves epigenetic datasets from mouse, marmoset, macaque and human brain to develop refined approaches for brain cell type enhancer selection for creating cell- type specific enhancer adeno-associated viruses (aavs), and to make inroads toward prediction of brain-wide expression specificity.
Lastly, we will develop a partnership with Addgene and leverage their self-sustaining and scalable model for plasmid dna and virus distribution to the scientific community. We will track plasmid and vector requests from our collection to measure the impact of our vectors for the wider research community. If successful, this pilot award will establish a roadmap for integrated analysis of diverse epigenetic datasets for cell type enhancer discovery, scalable enhancer aav screening methods in the mouse and non-human primate brain, and widespread distribution of knowledge and tools to the research community. Although we focus our efforts on bg cells types and circuits in this pilot u01 project, our goal is to build a scalable pipeline that is generalizable to cell type enhancer discovery for the whole mouse brain."
Somehow ended up looking at the tax exempt DB - Broad Institute in the IRS tax-exempt DB:
https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/allSearch
The Broad Institute is "supported" by the Stanley Fund for the Broad Institute which is also a tax-exempt org. (Screenshots are from the 2019 return Stanley return). As of 2019, Lander was collecting in excess of $1.9 Million dollars from "related organizations". Broad Institute net assets of of $58 Million with $53 million being bounced to the Broad Institute proper.
Explaination on page 22 of 48 in the return mentions Jonathan Stanley and MBI.
File under: RABBIT HOLE and/or Can't make this up and/or WTAF from a 2006 article titled: State Laws to Force Drugs on Mental Paitients Sparks Growing Debate_WSJ
"One of Dr. Torrey’s books on schizophrenia caught the eye of a wealthy businessman, Ted Stanley, whose son, Jonathan, became delusional during college and later was diagnosed with bipolar disease.
Jonathan Stanley says he accosted people on the street and believed he was being trailed by Naval Intelligence. He says he was arrested when he stood naked atop a milk crate in a Manhattan diner, trying to avoid the lethal radiation he thought was bombarding him from a satellite dish across the street.
The elder Mr. Stanley contacted Dr. Torrey in 1989 and ultimately opened his checkbook to create the Stanley Medical Research Institute in Bethesda, Md. "He said he’d like to help," Dr. Torrey recalls. "He said: ‘We thought we would start with a million dollars — a year.’ "
Mr. Stanley, 74, runs MBI Inc., a Connecticut seller of collectible and commemorative books, coins, figurines and other memorabilia. Its units include the Danbury Mint. Since the 1980s, Mr. Stanley says he has donated nearly $300 million — including about $35 million in 2005 — to Dr. Torrey’s efforts, the bulk of it for research at universities and start-up drug companies.
"The law allowed the state to force outpatient treatment on people if they were judged a potential danger to themselves or others. At a news conference, the attorney general introduced a man who had come to grips with his illness and his denial of it, received treatment and gone back to school. He now was a lawyer for the Treatment Advocacy Center. "I am Jonathan Stanley and I’m one of the people this law was designed to help," the younger Mr. Stanley said." https://archive.ph/S4d9T
So the son whose mental illness sparked the opening of the check book and the formation of yet another research institute was 'cured' and now sits as a director on the supporting group for the Broad Institute. (The senior Stanley has since died according to the IRS form.)
Meanwhile, back at USAspending.gov, the Broad Institute has rec'd $197.9 million from the USG, Addgene has rec'd $9.1M, The Allen Institute has rec'd $215 Million.
