Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

As a supporting organization to the Clayton Foundation for Research ("Clayton") the Foundation's primary mission is to fund medical research for the purpose of discovering the cause, prevention and cure of diseases for the benefit of mankind. The secondary mission is to transfer the resulting medical research discoveries from the laboratory to the use of the general public by patenting and licensing such technology for development into drugs or other products for the use and benefit of mankind through Clayton's other supporting entities.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Clayton Medical Research Foundation, Inc. was established as a charitable non-profit corporation to support medical and scientific research.

  • The Tumor Targeting Toxins grant to the University of California, San Diego, funds research directed to the discovery and development of compounds for cancer therapy, compounds synthesized with proteins joined by a sortase reaction, and compounds with cancer stem cell and hormone targeting ligands coupled with toxins for delivery to ovarian tumors and other epithelial tumors. Patent applications have been filed for these technologies by Research Development Foundation ("RDF"), a tax-exempt supporting organization of the Foundation {see Schedule R, Part III), and collaborations have been and are being established with other scientists and with commercial entities and consultants for manufacturing and development of drugs for human cancer indications.

    Expenses $997,471 · Grants $925,525

  • The MorfVeuss Discovery, Screening and Therapeutic Platform grant to the Salk Institute for Biological Studies funds research to develop a screening platform, called MorfVeuss, that will allow the discovery of micro-peptide drug targets while transforming these discoveries into gene and oncolytic viral therapeutic candidates. The objective of this platform is to overcome a critical unmet need in identifying and characterizing a novel class of therapeutics, building from very recent discoveries in the past decade in the emerging field of micro-proteins. Development of this platform should open the door for new breakthroughs and a pipeline of innovative new drug candidates, applicable across different indications.

    Expenses $731,490 · Grants $680,100

  • STF-1 and Glucose Control grant to The Salk Institute for Biological Studies focuses on characterization of cellular proteins that modulate fatty acid metabolism in muscle and fat; characterization of a signaling module that promotes beta cell survival; and the role of PDX and other known and new molecular switches in promoting beta islet cell proliferation and insulin secretion in the pancreas and liver.

    Expenses $677,201 · Grants $628,380

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.
