About the Connaught Fund:
Established by the endowment resulting from the sale of the Connaught Labs, which played an instrumental role in the discovery of insulin and production of other vaccines in the 1920s, the Connaught Fund carries on that legacy of groundbreaking discovery by supporting innovative research with societal impact. Currently, the Fund supports over 200 awards totaling over $5M per year.
