Activated Egg Symposium: 1st Friday each November since 2002, a day for research information sharing on eggs for reproduction, stem cell derivation and therapies.
Spinal Cord Workshop: researchers and clinicians share information on specific barriers to a cure for spinal cord injury.
These products and services have been developed during the course of our research and help to cover the administrative costs of the laboratory. This allows research activities to proceed with minimal overhead (about 6%).
4. EDUCATIONAL MEDIA
Based on our research and events we produce:
Newsletters (email and snail mail): Our newsletters cover break-throughs in research, as well as easy tutorials on the basics, and updates on Foundation news. Sign-up on our homepage, or email us your snail-mail address: ryan@bedfordresearch.org
Educational Videos About Stem Cells and Stem Cell Research: available on our popular FAQs page.
Most Foundation research cannot be federally funded
because
of the
U.S. moratorium on research funding for activated human eggs (either artificially or by sperm). (www.nih.gov)
BSCRF is a Tax-Exempt Public Charity 501(c)3
How much does $1 of research cost the taxpayer?
Private funding of biomedical research directly funds more research than federal funding. Additionally, it provides a tax advantage to the donor.
Federal - $1.00 National Institutes of Health (NIH)
$1.50
State - $1.00 Grants and Programs
$1.20
Private Donation - $1.00 *Depending on income tax bracket.
$0.67*
This tax exempt status permits taxpayers the right to directly support research for public health and education.
BSCRF is the new type of socially relevant, entrepreneurial model that can change the way medicine is done. Exactly as fifty years ago the Salk Institute, San Diego, CA, used non-federal resources to develop the polio vaccine.
