Philanthropy

2 f9

The Department of Psychiatry has consistently been rated 2nd nationally in NIH research support among all psychiatry departments. Sustaining that position against the background of diminishing NIH budgets is becoming increasingly difficult.

2 135

Private philanthropy meets funding needs not covered by government grants or insurance reimbursements. It is essential and can make a significant difference in our Department's ability to respond quickly, effectively and compassionately in the fight to treat a vast array of complex mental disorders.

2 1c1

To stay on the cutting edge, develop and test new and innovative psychiatric treatments, as well as to expand our clinical programs and behavioral health services in response to an ever-increasing regional and national demand, will require increased private support. So too will de-stigmatizing mental disorders of their societal taboos, educating the public about the latest discoveries, and encouraging patients to seek proper treatments.

Endowed Professorships

An Endowed professorship is the most prestigious method at the University of providing for a faculty member's salary and research expenses, protecting against times of budgetary and economic uncertainty, and is a sure way to attract, recruit and/or retain the most qualified and best in a field. Such a commitment provides a lasting tribute to the donor and serves as a public endorsement of the Center and University.
