NATHANIEL WHARTON FUND FOR RESEARCH IN BRAIN BODY AND BEHAVIOR INC

The Nathaniel Wharton Fund is a New York–based 501(c)(3) philanthropic fund that provides targeted, rapid support for biomedical research exploring mind–brain–body interactions and their implications for physical illness and clinical care. The Fund primarily supports investigators and laboratories affiliated with Columbia University Irving Medical Center and emphasizes seed and pilot awards that can be translated into larger externally funded projects. In recent years the Fund has continued active grantmaking and laboratory support (including named investigators and labs such as the Columbia Cardiovascular Psychophysiology Laboratory and several interdisciplinary research groups). Fiscal filings for 2023–2024 show continued operations and financial resources that the Fund uses to award research support and sustain its investigator collaborations. The organization focuses on practical, translational work (basic research, clinical care, and teaching) that integrates mind–body approaches into medical practice and on enabling early-stage projects that can attract larger follow-on funding.
