What Simmaron Research Inc does
Mission
To conduct research on the etiology, pathogenesis, biomarkers, and treatment of myalgic encephelomyelitis (me) formerly know as chronic fatigue syndrome (cfs). Our mission statement is to scientifically redefine me/cfs.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Simmaron sponsors and conducts research projects that deepen the scientific understanding of me/cfs and other neuro-immune deseases. This research is pursued with intent to develop/refine diagnostic testing and treatments to improve quality of life for me/cfs patients. In 2017, simmaron began collaborative research with cornell university. The scientific director at the university is part of two teams awarded collaborative research center grants from the nih. In 2019, the collaboration with cornell continued and resulted in a journal article publication to which simmaron significantly contributed (via research staff labor and sample submission)

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 2018 to 2019, from $553k to $174k (−69%).
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: 2022 68% · 2023 22% · 2024 14%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of SIMMARON RESEARCH INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 6 funders to 5 funders, grant income fell $439k → $304k.
8 of 14 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 80% 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 SIMMARON RESEARCH 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
SIMMARON RESEARCH INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 57% of grant income and the top three 80%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
86% 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 SIMMARON RESEARCH INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 57% · 2018 74% · 2019 54% · 2020 69% · 2021 60% · 2022 95% · 2023 82% — growing more concentrated.
“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
60% of SIMMARON RESEARCH INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
80% of SIMMARON RESEARCH INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $387k that is directly attributable, 82% of it comes from funders outside Nevada, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
