About Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics
Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics concentrates on diagnostics that can move from development into use: antigen rapid diagnostic tests, tuberculosis tools, and digital and laboratory support that helps those tests work in the field. A single grant to Biomeme for diagnostic test development reached $4,015,000 in 2023, and the foundation also backed Transnational TechnologiesInc with $3,200,000 for manufacturing and commercialization of an antigen RDT for COVID. Those awards show a pattern of supporting both product creation and the steps needed to bring diagnostics to market. The foundation’s portfolio also includes implementation work, such as support for scaling COVID antigen tests in the Americas and use of rapid tests in humanitarian settings, along with research and evaluation grants to academic and nonprofit partners. Its stated mission is to accelerate equitable access to reliable diagnosis around the world, and the recent awards reflect that through work on TB elimination, point-of-care diagnostics, pathogen genomic surveillance, and access-oriented technologies for low- and middle-income countries.
What Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics Funds
In diagnostics development, Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics gave $1,012,297 to Diagnostic Consulting Network Inc in 2024 for development of diagnostic tests, and $355,100 to Broad Institute in 2024 for a rapid, point-of-care diagnostic for high-sensitivity detection of tuberculosis. The foundation also supported COVID and antigen test work, including $793,500 to Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation for evaluation of antigen rapid diagnostic tests. Beyond test design, it funds enabling tools and infrastructure: DimagiInc received $252,335 for mobile phone apps that collect data from rapid in vitro diagnostic tests and help users interpret results. It also backed genomics training for Africa CDC workforce development through Program Appropriate Tech in Health, linking diagnostics to surveillance capacity.
How Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics Gives
Typical grant size sits at a p25 of $39,206, a median of $190,400, and a p75 of $548,709, showing a mix of smaller support grants and larger awards. The recent record includes repeat recipients across multiple years, including Biomeme, CHAI-Clinton Health Access Initiation Inc, Diagnostic Consulting Network, and University of North Carolina, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. The foundation is a public charity and a regular funder, not a DAF vehicle. It does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
