IRS990/Desc0As an independent nonprofit organization, Bay Area Lyme is able to partner with leading researchers and institutions all across the country to support the most innovative and promising projects in Lyme disease research, regardless of affiliation. True breakthroughs will occur only through well-designed research projects and at Bay Area Lyme, we have a rigorous screening and monitoring process, grant contingencies, and project reporting, to ensure that projects are effectively designed and funds well spent. In 2019, Bay Area Lyme Foundation funded 24 grants averaging $84,000 per award to various institutions across the country. Tulane National Primate Center was the recepient of several grant awards totaling over $545,000 that focus on the treatment of Lyme disease. Addtional funding of $262,000 to prior year Emerging Leader recipients was awarded to Stanford University, Kyronyx Biosciences LLC, and Brandeis University allowing them to continue their focus on therapeutic projects. Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai received a $250,000 grant award to develop novel therapeutic strategies to treat Lyme disease. Bay Area Lyme funded the first West Coast Continuing Medical Education (CME) program on tick-borne disease, hosted by Stanford University School of Medicine and Massachusetts General Hospital. The program included presentations related to emerging diagnostic technologies, potential future treatment options, and epidemiological statistics.
