Our ability to translate science into new hope for patients around the world hinges on the ability to prepare
the next generation of leaders in life sciences fields. Excellence in other fields such as technology and
engineering are needed to ensure global competitiveness and drive innovation. Because of this, Cubist’s
philanthropic efforts are focused on supporting organizations with programs in science, technology, engineering,
and mathematics (STEM). We award grants to STEM programs, primarily those targeting underserved middle and high
school students in Massachusetts, and we encourage our employees to volunteer with these organizations.

In addition to its philanthropic grants, since 2009, Cubist has also helped to recognize innovative science teachers through
a partnership with the New England Patriots Radio Network. The Cubist Science Education Leadership Award program highlights
teachers leading the way in the classroom, with the winning teacher receiving $5,000 for the school’s science department.
At Cubist, supporting our communities through volunteerism is a part of our corporate culture. We host science classroom visits where students engage in hands-on learning and career exploration. Our employees also actively participate in events and initiatives with other educational, cultural and human service nonprofits.
