True breakthroughs will occur only through well-designed research projects and at Bay Area Lyme, we have a rigorous screening and monitoring process, grant contingencies, and project reporting, to ensure that projects are effectively designed and funds well spent. In 2017, Bay Area Lyme Foundation funded 17 grants, 1 program related investment and 1 sponsorship to various institutions across the country. Funding for new diagnostic projects included a $250,000 grant to Harvard University which is developing a paper-based diagnostic tool to detect early Lyme infections. New treatment research projects included a clinical genomic study of Lyme and novel causes of Lyme-like Illness at the Broad Institute. Three ecology grants focused on tick studies in specific regions of the U.S. as well as the ongoing funding of the Citizen Science Tick Testing project that generated a nationwide participation from the public for most of 2017. The second and final sponsorship of the HackLyme event held in the fall of 2017 aimed to provide a forum for students, scientists and business people to use next-gen technologies, science, and innovation to deliver solutions for tick borne illness. 115613 Bay Area Lyme offers free in-service education and training regarding tick-bite prevention to residential outdoor schools, outdoor environmental education, and professional outdoor program/field trip providers on-site. Bay Area Lyme is partnering with the Association of Environmental and Outdoor Educators (AEOE) to offer education and training to the professional naturalist community who teach children in the 130 residential outdoor science schools throughout California. School-age children are particularly susceptible to contracting Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses. Because of our educational outreach program, outdoor education teachers are now instructing children to check themselves for ticks daily and are learning the correct steps to take if they get bitten. The in-service ensures that adults working at outdoor school facilities know how to protect themselves against Lyme and tick-borne diseases, and enhances the safety of teachers and students. This program is relevant for naturalists, outdoor educators and teachers, park rangers, outdoor sport and recreation instructors, docents, EMTs, first aid providers, firefighters, volunteers and anyone who is working in a position of responsibility for the health and safety of others in the outdoors. 1380612 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false true false false false false false false true false false true false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true true false false true 14 0 true 1 true false false false false false true true false false false false X 3 2 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X LINDA GIAMPA EXEC DIRECTOR 6505302439 884 PORTOLA RD PORTOLA VALLEY CA 94028 LAURE WOODS PRESIDENT, BOARD OF DIRECTOR 2.0 1.0 X X 0 0 0 BONNIE CRATER TREASURER, BOARD 4.3 0.4 X X 8025 13675 0 SUSAN STREHLOW DIRECTOR 1.0 1.0 X 0 0 0 LINDA GIAMPA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR/SECRETARY 21.5 28.5 X 220000 0 11363 228025 13675 11363 1 false true false DIANNE BARNEY 1729 LOS ALTOS DR SAN MATEO CA 94402 ACCOUNTING/FINANCE 127625 1 666167 156000 246529 45952 1068696 0 17169 17169 0 0 0 0 0 605694 590697 14997 14997 14997 0 666167 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1100862 32166 1076597 1076597 0 0 0 99337 17163 82174 8025 8025 0 0 0 3899 1052 2847 0 3892 1250 2642 24750 24750 0 0 12775 12775 379747 204436 175311 1226 866 360 0 1375 1375 0 18768 7206 11562 24949 21776 3173 0 17905 16155 1750 5650 5650 0 0 0 OTHER OPERATING SERVICES 8286 2097 6189 BUILDING REPAIRS AND MAINTENAN 2479 907 1572 SUPPLIES & EQUIPMENT 25283 23082 2201 CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEES 18908 18908 1733851 1380612 353239 0 297348 114201 0 0 638120 75420 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6815 10495 11100 11100 1317731 1886983 0 0 0 100000 0 0 35158 22591 2295172 2209690 79870 65855 292865 782556 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 372735 848411 X 642354 497945 1280083 863334 0 0 1922437 1361279 2295172 2209690 -632989 71831 X false true X true false X 469017 744135 2583188 1411202 1068696 6276238 0 0 469017 744135 2583188 1411202 1068696 6276238 2938337 3337901 109027 71821 43170 15135 17169 256322 0 0 6532560 0.51096 0.43099 X 11100 11100 0 0 X Part X, Line 2 U.S. GAAP requires the Organization to evaluate tax positions taken and recognize a tax liability if the Organization have taken an uncertain tax position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination.
