The Funding Challenge

Declining Grant Funding

Years of longitudinal patient data with
genomics and clinical outcomes, but
struggling to fund ongoing operations as grant funding becomes more competitive.

Scientific Directors

Disease Registries

Lack of Infrastructure

Pharma companies approach about data collaborations, but lack the legal and technical infrastructure to make it work efficiently.

Executive Directors

Tissue Banks

Balancing Mission & Sustainability

Mission is to advance research and improve patient outcomes. Industry partnerships could fund that mission, but need to maintain trust and governance.

Program Directors

Population Studies

Sustainable Funding Through Mission-Aligned Data Sharing

Secure funding to support operations while maintaining governance and research access

Sponsored Research & Industry Partnerships

Secure funding for research operations through governed industry collaborations — while maintaining patient trust, academic access, and full oversight.

Tiered access: open academic collaboration, funded industry partnerships

Maintain complete control over who accesses data

Transparent governance that preserves stakeholder trust

Leading biobanks manage 50,000+ to 2.5 million participants with complete governance and audit trails

Complete Governance & Auditability

Maintain complete oversight of who accesses data, for what purpose, with what results—essential for maintaining trust.

100% audit trail for compliance and
reporting

Approval workflows for access requests

Automated reporting for IRBs and
oversight committees

Track research outputs and citations

One organization processes hundreds of new samples per week without adding headcount through automated workflows

Increase Research Impact

Make your data more discoverable and accessible to qualified researchers, increasing collaboration and citations.

Self-service discovery accelerates researcher evaluation

Support more collaborations without additional staff

Track research outputs and demonstrate impact

Query time reduced from weeks to minutes—researchers gain self-service access to previously hard-to-reach data

Support Multiple Collaboration Types

Academic Research (Free/Low-Cost)

Prioritized access for qualified academic researchers

Industry Collaborations (Funded)

Commercial partnerships for drug
development

Patient Advocacy Groups

Mission-aligned partnerships with advocacy organizations

Chosen by R&D Leaders

Broad Clinical Labs needed to deliver BGE and WGS sequencing data to customers on AWS, moving beyond simple file delivery. By partnering with Manifold, they now deliver data directly to AWS where customers browse QC data, variants, and files using AI. In addition, their customers can upload phenotypic data that automatically joins with genotype data—delivering far more value than traditional file delivery.

Foundation Medicine needed to accelerate drug development for biopharma partners using their comprehensive 800,000+ patient genomic dataset. FoundationInsights® 2.0, powered by Manifold, enabled this with natural language search and advanced analytics, giving partners a one-stop shop to rapidly identify patient cohorts, explore genomic alterations, and extract insights faster than ever before.

Indiana University SCCC needed to accelerate complex cohort queries across 28,000+ patient records and 81,000+ biospecimens that were taking weeks to complete. Manifold enabled them to cut query turnaround times from weeks to minutes, empowering researchers to independently generate feasibility assessments and complete multi-dimensional genomic queries while the BC^2 team handles increased request volume without adding headcount.

Champions Oncology needed a platform that could serve both their internal R&D teams and enable commercialization of their multi-omics dataset which includes PDX models with proteomics, WES, and RNA-seq data. They found a solution with Manifold that addresses both needs: a secure platform that scales from internal collaboration to external partner access, with Manifold's AI agents accelerating data evaluation and analysis across the board.

Indiana University SCCC needed to break down data silos across IUH, Regenstrief, and IU SCCC to integrate their EHR and other modalities into a unified research data commons. Manifold enabled the first-ever cross-institution collaboration through weekly EHR syncs, creating a place where researchers—even those with low technical expertise—can now ask natural language questions of over 3 million diagnoses, cut cohorts, and perform complex analyses that previously required weeks of manual data coordination.

University of Virginia Cancer Center needed to integrate their cancer registry data—including genomics, biospecimen, and clinical data—into a unified data commons, but data requests that used to take weeks or months were bottlenecking research. Manifold's AI-powered platform cut request turnaround times from months to minutes, enabling researchers to self-serve access to 60K+ patients and 10K+ biospecimens using natural language queries—unlocking far more research capacity.
