What Cohen Veterans Bioscience Inc does
Mission
Cohen veterans bioscience, inc. ("cvb") is a non-profit 501(c)(3) biomedical research and technology organization dedicated to advancing brain health by fast-tracking precision diagnostics and tailored therapeutics.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2023 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
The board of directors initiated a wind down of operations in june 2024.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Brain health tools & technologies:in order to fast-track precision diagnostics and targeted therapeutics and wellness approaches for maintenance and restoration of brain health, cvb is leveraging innovation and technology to build tools and platforms that enable discovery and development across brain diseases. These tools & platforms allow researchers from academia and industry to access and utilize best-in-class practices and allow efforts to be scaled with rigor and reproducibility.our platform programs currently include the braincommons (cloud-based data & analytics), earlysignal (wearable and home sensors for monitoring health status), rapid-dx (establishing best practices for discovery and validation of biomarkers), amp-it-up (for preclinical discovery and translation) and tap (target advancement program).braincommonstm:the braincommons (bc) is a cloud-based research and discovery platform for the brain health community which features data, tools, and community access in a secure, scalable, and sustainable environment. It is designed to further democratize data and enable greater collaboration globally among brain scientists working in a variety of settings.earlysignaltm:the…

The stakeholders encompass a broad swath of the community from academic institutions to government agencies, foundations supporting translational research, industry and individuals with lived experience.each summit serves as a launchpad for ongoing working groups to develop evidence-based strategies and recommendations on how to fill those gaps, identify new gaps as others are filled, and disseminate these findings back to the community at large through white papers and proceedings.the inaugural state of the science summit ("soss"), held in 2018, focused on diagnosis of trauma-related brain disorders with a major focus on post-traumatic stress disorder. The trauma-related brain disorders research community has identified a need to establish a mechanism-based taxonomy for these conditions to advance biomarker discovery as well as diagnosis and therapeutic development. A shift from a syndromic classification system to a mechanistic one necessitates a review of the current scientific knowledge, adoption of new…
Standardized advanced neuroimaging scans on 3,000 adult volunteers, the resulting imaging data, along with demographic information and the results of neurocognitive assessments, is forming a library documenting population variation in brain structure and function as measured by these advanced imaging methods.through this imaging database, it is our goal to advance neuroimaging to dramatically improve the identification of affected individuals and allow physicians to objectively and efficiently diagnose conditions such as tbi, dementia and other brain disorders where brain structure is detected via mri.in 2022, we continued recruitment into the library, reaching over 1,800 enrolled subjects and also added blood sample collection for newly recruited individuals. Computational modeling & data sciences:cvb has established an intramural data sciences program to build machine-learning and artificial intelligence based predictive models of disease. These programs build on our original orion ms bio-modelling program and focuses on models of ptsd, tbi, parkinsons and dementia and other conditions.post-traumatic stress disorder ("pstd") 1.0:our main priority is to build a multi-modal model…
Fitness, in this context, is defined by the stakeholders, who are the scientists directly involved in the research, but also their funders, sponsors, publishers, research tool manufacturers and collaboration partners such as peers in a multi-site research project. The essence of the eqipd quality system is the set of 18 core requirements that can be addressed flexibly, according to user-specific needs and following a user-defined trajectory. The eqipd quality system proposes guidance on expectations for quality-related measures, defines criteria for adequate processes (I.e., performance standards) and provides examples of how such measures can be developed and implemented. In 2023, eqipd was awarded a major grant (istand) by the innovative medicines initiative in europe. There is currently no established framework readily available outside of selected companies and research organizations that apply internally-developed standards and criteria to support adequate research rigor that is commensurate with the purpose and appropriately achievable. The grant program will establish and test such a framework to support the processes of generating and reporting nonregulated research…
The 4 programs described on its FY2023 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $11,846,371.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $12M to $3.1M (−74%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2019 3% · 2020 12% · 2021 2% · 2022 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
30% of COHEN VETERANS BIOSCIENCE INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 7 funders, grant income rose $131k → $755k.
2 of 16 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of COHEN VETERANS BIOSCIENCE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
COHEN VETERANS BIOSCIENCE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 38% of grant income and the top three 88%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
99% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund COHEN VETERANS BIOSCIENCE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 96% · 2018 70% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 97% · 2022 99% · 2023 81% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
17% of COHEN VETERANS BIOSCIENCE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 31% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
COHEN VETERANS BIOSCIENCE INC draws 83% of its grant income from funders outside Massachusetts, across 11 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $18k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
