The Shanahan Foundation Fellowship at the Interface of Data and Neuroscience was created to bring fresh perspectives into the field, encouraging data scientists to work together with leading neuroscientists at the Allen Institute and at the University of Washington.
Since its inception in 2007, the Shanahan Family Foundation has made numerous significant gifts to organizations and institutions nationally.
Fellowship at the Interface of Data and Neuroscience
Mountains Community Hospital
Located in the San Bernardino Mountains of California, Mountains Community Hospital provides full-service medical care to residents and visitors in one of the most densely populated mountain areas in the United States. As a Critical Access Hospital, its services are vital to a community where high-quality medical care would otherwise be difficult to reach.
Diagnostics Accelerator (DxA) for Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s
The Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation’s Diagnostics Accelerator (DxA) is working to replace today’s expensive and invasive PET imaging and spinal fluid taps with new gold-standard methods for early, non-invasive and affordable diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and related dementias. Launched in July 2018, the DxA has mobilized commitments totaling $50 million to bring focus, resources, and urgency required to solve this important problem.
ACCT Philly
ACCT Philly handles nearly 18,000 animals through the city’s North Philadelphia shelter facility, making it the largest animal care and control service provider in the region. They provide shelter, care, and lifesaving efforts to homeless and abandoned animals, pets, and wildlife of all kinds for the benefit of all Philadelphians.
The Research Initiative
By collecting data about the ways in which a researcher’s mentorship and wellbeing impact their work, Research Theory is developing a theoretical framework of how scientists can be best supported, and how the most creative and productive research environments can be fostered.
Ohio State University College of Engineering
The Office of Community, Access, Retention, and Empowerment (CARE) plays an essential role in the College of Engineering’s mission to deliver high-quality, evidence-based education for all students. CARE supports students by conducting program evaluations and assessments, preparing future students for success in the College of Engineering, and connecting current students with academic coaching, community engagement opportunities, and many other resources, programs, and initiatives.
