The Foundation seeks to enhance philanthropic support of vaccinology and is currently evaluating options for enhanced fundraising activities. The Foundation currently supports vaccine research and development through the Jenner Institute. The Foundation Board appoints the Director of the Institute, elects Jenner Investigators (currently numbering 24) and has funded space and facilities for vaccine research and development. The Foundation actively supports enhanced collaborative interactions between researchers at the Institute for Animal Health working on veterinary vaccines and those at Oxford University developing new vaccines for human use. The Foundation has also provided support for scientists from the former Edward Jenner Institute for Vaccine Research to continue their work as part of the Jenner Institute. The Foundation draws Trustees from both Oxford University and the Institute for Animal Health (the two Partners in the charity) and has an external chair and three further independent trustees.
