    BWF is committed to the belief that fostering research by the best and brightest scientists offers the fullest promise for improving human health. With this increase in assets resulting from the Wellcome Trust endowment, BWF has been able to play a larger role in funding biomedical research, including extending our support into Canada. In carrying out this work, BWF is governed by a Board of Directors composed of distinguished scientists and business leaders, and our competitive award programs are guided by advisory committees composed of leading researchers and educators. The importance of curiosity-driven research, as endorsed by Henry Wellcome, continues to be our guide. Thus, more than a century after two enterprising American pharmacists set in motion their pioneering partnership, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund remains committed to the belief that fostering research by the best and brightest scientists offers the fullest promise for improving human health.
