EVERY SUPERHERO HAS A STORY A wise soul trains a hungry individual and turns their raw talent into the stuff of superheroes. For 15 years, S&R has been part of that origin story; we are where superheroes learn their own strength, hone their powers, and realize their ability to save the world – if only a part of it. When Dr. Ryuji Ueno and I established the S&R Foundation in 2000, we set out to support talented artists and scientists with a passion for charity, science, literature, or education. Over the past 15 years, S&R’s mission has evolved to not only support individuals working in the arts and sciences, but also in social entrepreneurship, with a special emphasis on international cultural collaboration.
We are very proud of what we have achieved. We have not only transformed the landscape of arts and enterprise here in Washington, D.C., but have impacted sectors globally. From the Halcyon Incubator to the Evermay Chamber, to our awards and speaker series, all of our programs have this in common: they draw together disparate groups concerned with a wide variety of issues – cultural, economic, research, and change processes – enabling them to benefit from small, happy accidents, learn from shared experiences, and profit from a sense of community. In the years to come, we hope to build on our success and grow it exponentially. And we are already on our way.
The 2016 launch of the Studios Program at the Fillmore School received more than 200 submitted applications for the 12 slots available for Phase One of the program. We could not have done any of it without the generous support of our donors and partners. Together, we have struck a chord, filled a need, and pushed boundaries – and will continue to do so over the next 15 years. Warm regards,
Dr. Sachiko Kuno Co-Founder, President & CEO

The S&R Washington Award The S&R Foundation Washington Award recognizes talented young artists in any field, especially those who contribute to international collaboration. In 2015, S&R awarded four outstanding artists: grand prize-winning composer Lembit Beecher and winners Luosha Fang (violin), Jorge Mañes Rubio (mixed media), and Jonathan Wintringham (saxophone). Each of these international artists was recognized for his or her dynamism, vision, and exceptional creativity. S&R would like to thank six new members of the Washington Awards selection committee: Jenny Bilfield, Philip Kennicott, Klaus Ottmann, Jason Moran, Caitlin Teal Price, Michael Djupstrom, and members since 2001: Diane Kanca and Robert Dwyer, for their enormous contribution to our longest running S&R program, which has made awards to over 50 artists from around the world for more than 15 years.
“ I strive to compose music that creates dramatically potent yet intimate theatrical experiences, through seductive, quirky, and heartfelt worlds of sound. Though my work spans many genres, including chamber music, opera, orchestral music, and explorations of new technology, at its center is a deep belief in the power of collaboration with other musicians and artists, across different forms of media, and across international borders.”

Ueno Award In 2002, S&R Foundation established the Ryuji Ueno Award (commonly known as the “Ueno Award”) in collaboration with the American Physiological Society (APS). From 2013, the award has been presented annually to an early career investigator demonstrating outstanding promise based on his/her research in wound healing, tissue remodeling, and/or organ regeneration. From 2002 to 2012, the award was given to individuals demonstrating outstanding promise based on their research in ion channels or epithelial barrier function. In 2015, it was presented to Hua A. Jenny Lu, M.D., Ph.D., Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Mass., for her work studying the mechanism of renal epithelial cell regeneration and differentiation during tubular repair/remodeling after tubular injury. Her team takes comprehensive approaches and applies multiple model systems, including in vitro 3D culture, in vivo live image technology, in vitro organ culture/ tissue slice culture, isolated kidney perfusion, mouse models, and zebrafish models to study protein trafficking/epithelial polarity/remodeling in various kidney disease contexts.
“In addition to the research support, I greatly value the prestige of this outstanding award, and I am very fortunate and extremely proud to be an alumna of S&R Foundation.”

Kuno Award Toxic stress is unremitting and unbuffered. it’s unfortunate we are seeing it in so many children today... We see physical and structural changes in parts of the brain that are key for learning and memory. – Sheila Ohlsson Walker, Ph.D.
S&R Foundation’s Kuno Award for applied science for the social good provides financial assistance and other resources to support social innovators using scientific research and principles to address a 21stcentury problem. The award is designed to support the translation of scientific research to a practical and real-world solution that achieves measurable social impact. In 2015, the award was given to Sheila Ohlsson Walker, Ph.D., for her research at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Arizona State University focusing on how information from neurobiology, genetics, epigenetics, and endocrinology can be applied to enhance educational outcomes, promote healthy behavior, reduce rates of chronic disease, and optimize health and learning throughout life. Dr. Walker is currently exploring chronic stress and how high-poverty educational and family contexts can affect health and academic performance.

Artist-in-Residence The Artist-in-Residence program provides talented artists with opportunities to further their careers. Artists-in-Residence serve as artistic ambassadors for S&R, help curate artistic programming and community engagement, and expand and develop their own artistic practice. In collaboration with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington, S&R embarked on its first pilot project for the new Fillmore School with a class violin program for young children. Initiated under the guidance of Ryo Yanagitani and taught by Machiko Ozawa, the program commenced in September 2015 with the aim to bring free violin lessons to under-served children interested in learning a new instrument. A class of six talented individuals, ages 7 to 10, came in for lessons, and ended the inaugural semester with a small performance at Jelleff Community Center in Georgetown. The lessons were a success with both students and parents alike asking for the program to continue. S&R has continued this program with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington, and reinstated free violin lessons for students in April 2016.

Overtures Artist Concert Series Since 2012, Overtures has featured award-winning, world-class performing artists at legendary venues across the D.C. metro area, including the John F.

In the spring 2015 season, S&R once again collaborated with the Library of Congress to feature Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra principal flutist Lorna McGhee; Curator of Musical Instruments and speaker for the evening, Carol Lynn Ward-Bamford; and pianist Ryo Yanagitani. In May, the trio explored the ancient history of the flute and McGhee performed on some of the Library’s rare instruments from the Dayton C. Miller Flute Collection. In the fall 2015 season, S&R welcomed its newest Artist-in-Residence, violinist Machiko Ozawa, in a duo recital with pianist Carlos Avila (September 25), as well as performances from the world-renowned Jerusalem String Quartet (October 13), and a wonderful musical partnership with musicians from the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Ryo Yanagitani (October 30). S&R also gave the stage to two winners of the Washington Award, cellist Char Prescott (October 16) and violinist and Artistic Director of Evermay Chamber Tamaki Kawakubo (November 13). In the 18 concerts of the 2015 Overtures series, we welcomed intimate performances from over 40 artists from 11 different countries, truly reflecting the international dimension of S&R’s work.

FILLMORE SCHOOL ACQUISITION
ALUMNI REUNION & COMMUNICATION OUTREACH
S&R purchased the Fillmore School building from the George Washington University in April. The new space will allow S&R to launch its latest venture, a fellowship program to support emerging artists who are creating social change through art. Synthesizing the learnings and successes of Halcyon, the program will provide workspace, mentorship, professional development, business skills, community project opportunities, and platforms to help artists amplify their critical message to a broad audience. The Fillmore School will become a new haven and laboratory for creativity, critical thinking, and innovation in the arts.
In celebration of S&R Foundation’s 15th anniversary, S&R held an inaugural alumni weekend in July, bringing together past and present Washington Award winners, Ueno Award winners, and Halcyon Incubator Fellows. This diverse group of artists, scientists, and social entrepreneurs actively participated in a variety of outreach events at local Boys & Girls Clubs, the DC Youth Orchestra Program, Imagination Stage, Hirshhorn’s ArtLab+, and the Kennedy Center, to name a few. Alumni also had a full-day retreat at the Fillmore School for both moderated and free discussion to stimulate innovative thought in their respective fields.

Special Thanks All of these accomplishments are yours to celebrate with us. Without your generous support, we would not have enjoyed such a successful 2015. We hope you will remain part of the S&R community as we empower increasing numbers of talented individuals to achieve their best and create positive social impact. Unlike most nonprofit organizations, S&R Foundation’s overhead and operational costs are completely covered by existing assets, so your contribution directly supports the programs you choose.
