Gifts and Giving
At the CNLM, we have a bold vision for the future of brain science and how it can make a positive impact on the lives of millions of people across the globe, including those who are living with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, people who have been diagnosed with epilepsy or traumatic brain injury, individuals living with depression and anxiety disorders, those who struggle with learning disabilities, and many more.
To realize our vision, we will focus on three pillars of excellence:
- Accelerating groundbreaking research
- Training the next generation of leaders
- Partnering with our communities
UCI CNLM is one of the featured areas of the UCI Brilliant Future Campaign. To find out more about how UCI is impacting our students, our community and our world, read the UCI CNLM Brilliant Future Case Statement.
There Are Various Ways to Support the CNLM
Friends of the CNLM
The Friends of the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory is the Center's official support group. The purpose of the Friends group is to support various priorities including pursuing high-risk, high-reward research, purchasing or developing new state-of-the-art technologies, and supporting graduate student and post doctoral training.
Director's Excellence Program
The Director's Excellence Program supports the Director's highest priority projects including purchase of new cutting edge equipment, funding innovative research projects and recruiting the world's brightest neuroscientists.
High Impact Research Program
The High Impact Research Program supports innovative high-risk, high-reward research. This is the kind of research that has the potential to accelerate transformational, rather than incremental discovery.
Young Scholars Program
The Young Scholars Program supports the students of the CNLM. The funds supports the Irvine Summer Institute in Neuroscience and other training programs in the CNLM, as well as awards given each year to support research and training of the next generation of neuroscientists.
