Our team had a great time attending Altum's Funder Forum, connecting with other funders in biomedical research, and sharing best practices and new ideas in grantmaking. It was thrilling to see these ideas come to life in real time. Looking forward to continuing the conversation with so many new connections and building on the progress we've already made together.
