Foundations & Research Partnerships

A Force Multiplier for Alzheimer Foundations

Our tools can support Alzheimer researchers with their compounds and solutions — we have reached out to the Cell Reports Medicine team behind the 2025 P7C3-A20 / NAD+ reversal study (Pieper lab, Case Western Reserve / Harrington Discovery Institute) to offer that support, and welcome similar conversations with other groups. A European computational-biology team with 16 certified AAIC 2026 posters and 29 NeurIPS 2026 workshop papers, with further Alzheimer-specific papers at ICLR 2026 workshops covering genomics, drug-discovery, and biomedical-reasoning (Gen², MLGenX, World Models for AD treatment) — 54 accepted workshop papers across major venues total. To foundations and associations: we can work with the researchers you fund to design and fund wet-lab tests of promising hypotheses. To wet labs and CROs: if your team can run the experiment, we want to hear from you.

For Alzheimer Foundations & Associations

We are a self-funded computational-biology team accelerating Alzheimer's research. Foundations and associations are our most powerful allies — here is how we can build something meaningful together.

How You Can Help Us

Your network is our most valuable resource. By amplifying our work, you directly accelerate Alzheimer's drug discovery.

  • Introduce us to your member network: researchers, hospitals, clinical trial coordinators
  • Feature us in your newsletter, annual report, or member communications
  • Share our work with your member network and affiliated Alzheimer's researchers
  • Connect us with wet-lab partners for experimental validation
  • Share our computational tools with affiliated Alzheimer's researchers

Why Foundations Partner With Us

You're not a research lab. You're a fundraising organization competing for donor dollars. Here's what a partnership with Reversal does for your foundation — not for researchers, for your organization.

  • Donor Engagement Story — "We're funding AI-accelerated drug discovery" is a narrative your Major Gift Officers can take to tech-savvy donors, corporate sponsors, and family foundations who want modern, efficient science — not just another three-year rodent study. We give you the story that opens doors and re-engages lapsed donors.
  • Unmatched Cost Efficiency — Computational screening costs a fraction of wet-lab work. Your board sees: "$500K generated a pipeline that would cost $50M in traditional pharma R&D." That leverage ratio makes your grant portfolio look extraordinary at galas and in annual reports.
  • Venture Philanthropy Returns — If our computational work leads to IP (novel compounds, validated targets), your foundation can negotiate royalty streams or milestone payments. That capital recycles into new grants — self-sustaining funding without another fundraising round. ADDF and others already operate this model.
  • Competitive Positioning — Every foundation wants to be the one that backed the discovery. Computational work moves in months, not years. Partnership with us accelerates your timeline to a headline-worthy result — and the PR that comes with it.
  • De-Risking for Mega-Funders — We validate targets computationally so you can take proven data to Big Pharma, NIH, or ARPA-H and say: "We de-risked this. Now fund the clinical trials." Your foundation becomes the anchor that unlocks tens of millions in follow-on capital — and gets the credit.
  • Quarterly Board-Ready Metrics — Compounds screened, targets validated, cost-per-lead, pipeline velocity. Numbers your CEO can present to the board, your development team can put in donor reports, and your communications team can feature in press releases.
  • NVIDIA Inception Backing — We are members of NVIDIA Inception, giving your foundation access to GPU infrastructure and a tech credibility signal that resonates with corporate donors and tech-sector board members.

Partnership Structures

We are flexible on structure. What matters is alignment on mission and impact.

  • Program-Related Investment (PRI) — For US private foundations: structured as a low-interest loan or equity purchase that counts toward your IRS 5% payout mandate while advancing your charitable mission. Tax-efficient and mission-aligned.
  • Joint Grant Applications — We co-apply on Horizon Europe, NIH, JPND, and national AD grants as computational partner. Our 54 accepted workshop papers and NVIDIA Inception membership strengthen the application.
  • Research Partnership Agreement — Straightforward MoU: your foundation funds a defined computational work program (e.g., "screen NAD+ pathway targets"), we deliver results on a quarterly cadence. Clear deliverables, clear timeline.
  • Venture Philanthropy — Royalty milestones tied to IP outcomes. If our computational work contributes to a licensable compound, your foundation receives returns that recycle into new grants.
  • Co-Branded Research — Joint publications, joint press releases, co-branded reports. Your foundation's name on the science that accelerates toward reversal.
  • EU-incorporated, based in Europe. MoU and partnership agreements available.

For Research Labs & Academic Groups

We are looking for wet labs and CROs that can run experimental tests of computational Alzheimer's hypotheses.

Wet-Lab Testing

The Foundation funds outside wet-lab tests of its computational hypotheses. If your lab can run the experiment, we fund the test and publish the results.

  • Cost per complete test: $100,000
  • Full results published openly
  • Co-authorship on resulting publications

Co-Authorship

Joint publications on validated results. The Foundation contributes computational hypotheses; you contribute experimental execution and domain expertise.

  • Shared credit on all publications
  • Pre-print access before public release
  • Conference presentation support

Hypothesis Review

Scientists and domain experts are invited to review the Foundation's published hypotheses, flag weaknesses, and suggest experiments.

  • Hypotheses published with full methodology
  • Critical review and feedback welcome
  • Co-authorship where contributions merit it

Published Results

The Foundation publishes hypotheses with structural data, pathway analyses, and predicted mechanisms in standard formats, so any lab can evaluate and build on them independently.

A Nonprofit, Not a Vendor

The Foundation does not sell services or software. The results of every test it funds are published, so any lab or company can build on them.
