- There are three Allen Institutes (Brain Science, Cell Science, and AI), funded by Microsoft's Paul Allen in Seattle.
- The Gates Foundation (also funded by Microsoft, I guess) funds research, though mostly at existing institutes.
- The Howard Hughes Memorial Institute funds a bunch of research at its Janelia Farms Campus, plus provides lavish support investigators at universities.
- Eli and Ethyl Broad put up about $700M to endow the Broad Institute at Harvard/MIT.
- The Michael J Fox foundation funds a lot of Parkinson's Disease research.
I was actually just looking at a job posting at the Simons Foundation, which makes its omission that much more embarrassing. The Schwartz Foundation also paid for some stuff (and a lot of pizza) in grad school,so I should give them a nod! CZI and Simons/Flatiron have their own buildings. I think GBM and Sloan are more grant-making organizations.
There's also DE Shaw Research, which is particularly interesting since the billionaire in question works there himself.
