Mission

THE ORGANIZATION CONDUCTS RESEARCH IN THE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES WITH A PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON BASIC RESEARCH IN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND GENETICS.

  • RESEARCH: COLD SPRING HARBOR LABORATORY (CSHL), FOUNDED IN 1890, IS A WORLD-RENOWNED, PRIVATE RESEARCH AND EDUCATION INSTITUTION WITH RESEARCH PROGRAMS IN CANCER, NEUROSCIENCE, PLANT BIOLOGY, QUANTITATIVE BIOLOGY, AND BIOINFORMATICS & GENOMICS. THE RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT IS HIGHLY COLLABORATIVE, ALLOWING CSHL SCIENTISTS TO WORK TOGETHER ACROSS DISCIPLINES TO SOLVE BIOLOGY'S MOST CHALLENGING PROBLEMS. THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO APPLY THIS RESEARCH ON BASIC BIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS TO IMPROVE THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF CANCER, NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS AND OTHER DISEASES. (SEE SCHEDULE O)(CONTINUED FROM PART III)RESEARCH AT THE LABORATORY IS ENRICHED BY COLLABORATIONS WITH SCIENTISTS AT OTHER UNIVERSITIES, HOSPITALS AND IN THE BIOTECH AND PHARMACEUTICAL SECTORS. THESE PARTNERINGS HAVE INCLUDED NYU, MEMORIAL SLOAN-KETTERING, WEILL CORNELL AND HARVARD. THE INNOVATIVE SPIRIT, VISION AND TALENT OF THE LABORATORY'S OVER 600 SCIENTISTS CONTINUE TO PLACE CSHL AMONG THE TOP 1% OF LIFE SCIENCE INSTITUTIONS MOST CITED IN PUBLISHED RESEARCH. THE LABORATORY HAS BEEN A NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE-DESIGNATED CANCER CENTER WITH AN NCI "OUTSTANDING" RATING. IT HAS BEEN HOME TO EIGHT NOBEL LAUREATES, INCLUDING BARBARA MCCLINTOCK, DISCOVERER OF THE "JUMPING GENES". THE LABORATORY OFFERS AN ADVANCED DRUG TESTING FACILITY DELIVERING WELL-VALIDATED DRUG CANDIDATES TO BOTH THE BIOTECH AND PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY. SINCE 2015, CSHL HAS HAD AN AFFILIATION WITH NORTHWELL HEALTH, THE AFFILIATION HAS LAUNCHED NEW EDUCATION INITIATIVES, EXPANDED ACCESS TO CLINICAL TRIALS, AND PROVIDED FUNDING FOR NEW INVESTIGATIONS THAT WILL HAVE A RAPID IMPACT IN THE CLINIC. TOGETHER, CSHL AND NORTHWELL HEALTH ARE COMMITTED TO BRINGING OUR DISCOVERIES OUT OF THE LAB AND TO THE PATIENTS. AS A TEAM, WE ARE POISED TO IDENTIFY NEW CANCER DIAGNOSTICS AND THERAPEUTICS THAT WILL MORE EFFECTIVELY AND RAPIDLY TREAT CANCER THAN EVER BEFORE.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
