The solid foundation I received at UW has opened many doors for me. I think it is important to give while you are 'alive and taking nourishment,' and it will be such a joy to see the new building on its completion.

Multidisciplinary Research

Collaborative, interdisciplinary research is the cornerstone for success at the Waisman Center. At the Waisman Center, researchers from many different disciplines can have intense and creative interactions, leading to novel research questions, methods, and approaches to treatment. The Waisman Center seeks a $4 million endowment to provide seed funding to award two research grants annually ($100,000 each) to support innovative collaborative studies, bringing together biological scientists and scientists who study human behavior.
