| ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 THE INSTITUTE'S MISSION IS TO PROPEL PROGRESS IN BIOMEDICINE THROUGH RESEARCH AIMED AT THE UNDERSTANDING AND TREATMENT OF DISEASE, AND THE DISSEMINATION OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD. VOLUNTEERS FORM 990, PART I, LINE 6 THE BROAD INSTITUTE DOES NOT FORMALLY TRACK VOLUNTEERS BUT HAS INCLUDED THE NUMBER OF BOARD MEMBERS AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT ARE UNCOMPENSATED. STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A The Broad Institute operates for educational and scientific purposes to improve human health by using genomics to advance its understanding of the biology and treatment of human disease, and to help lay the groundwork for a new generation of therapies. The Institute defined a new collaborative model for biomedical research, bringing together extraordinary scientists across Harvard, MIT and Harvard-affiliated hospitals and uses new approaches that combine biology, chemistry, mathematics, computation and engineering with medical science and clinical research. Its scientists are committed to understanding the fundamental basis of genome and cell biology, and to developing transformative new approaches to biomedical research. Scientific areas include Chemical Biology and Therapeutics, Genome Regulation, Cellular Circuitry and Epigenomics, Medical and Population Genetics, and Metabolism. Broads researchers bring expertise and collaboration in different technology areas, called Platforms, to collaborate on challenging projects that could not be done within a single research laboratory. Technology areas include Broad Technology Labs, Genetic Perturbation, Genomics, Imaging, Metabolomics and Proteomics. The Institute is focused on using collaborative approaches to make foundational advances in a number of disease areas. These areas include cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, infectious disease, obesity, psychiatric disease, rare disease and immunological disease. The Broad Institute is committed to making the extensive data, methods, and technologies it generates rapidly and readily accessible to the scientific community to drive biomedical progress around the world. OVER 5,800 SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS TO DATE HAVE RESULTED FROM BROAD RESEARCH. THE BROAD INSTITUTE HOLDS AN ANNUAL SCIENTIFIC RETREAT, A TWO-DAY MEETING FEATURING PRESENTATIONS AND POSTERS ON A VARIETY OF RESEARCH PROJECTS ACROSS THE INSTITUTE, ATTENDED BY MORE THAN 1,900 PARTICIPANTS FROM THE COMMUNITY. THE BROAD'S EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAM ENGAGES BOSTON-CAMBRIDGE AREA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH BY PROVIDING SUMMER INTERNSHIPS AND SEMESTER-LONG RESEARCH PROJECTS. IN 2015, 13 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN A SUMMER SCHOLARS PROGRAM, ONE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT COMPLETED A TWO-WEEK WORK STUDY WITH THE OFFICE OF EDUCATION AND OUTREACH AND ONE UNDERGRADUATE AND ONE GRADUATE STUDENT INTERNED WITH THE OFFICE OF EDUCATION AND OUTREACH DURING THE ACADEMIC YEAR. IN ADDITION, THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM SPONSORS CLASS VISITS TO THE BROAD. THERE WERE 39 EDUCATIONAL TOURS IN 2015 THAT INCLUDED APPROXIMATELY 1,000 MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. BROAD PARTICIPATED IN NETPALS IN 2015, WHICH MATCHED 25 MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH 25 SCIENTIST MENTORS. ALSO IN 2015, THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM WORKED WITH BROAD SCIENTISTS TO DESIGN AND PUBLISH A LESSON FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ABOUT EBOLA TO REACH EDUCATORS NATIONWIDE. IN 2015, AS PART OF THE BROAD SCIENTISTS IN THE CLASSROOM PROGRAM WITH CAMBRIDGE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, BROAD SCIENTISTS VISITED 8TH GRADE CLASSROOMS DURING A TEN WEEK PERIOD ABOUT GENETICS AND EVOLUTION, AND TWO FULL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DAYS FOR TEACHERS WERE HELD AT THE INSTITUTE. 23 BROAD SCIENTISTS WERE INVOLVED IN THIS INITIATIVE, SERVING APPROXIMATELY 350 STUDENTS. BROAD ALSO HELD A SCIENCE TRIVIA CHALLENGE EVENT WHERE SIX BROAD SCIENTISTS INTRODUCED APPROXIMATELY 100 MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO SCIENCE CAREERS AND ANSWERED QUESTIONS. BROAD PRESENTED OUTREACH PROGRAMMING AT THE INTERNATIONAL TEACHER SCIENTIST PARTNERSHIP CONFERENCE AND THE ANNUAL AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY CONFERENCE AND HOSTED AN ACTIVITY BOOTH AT A SCIENCE FESTIVAL, REACHING ABOUT 300 K-12 STUDENTS. TO HELP INSPIRE YOUNG PEOPLE AND INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SCIENTISTS FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS, THE BROAD'S DIVERSITY INITIATIVE IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH OFFERS PROGRAMS FOR MINORITIES AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF THEIR EDUCATION AND CAREERS. IN 2015, 28 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, 12 UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS AND 5 FACULTY MEMBERS PARTICIPATED IN THESE PROGRAMS. |
