  • Enhancing Academic Programs and Research
    • Undergraduate Fellows Program - Fellowships offer first-and second-year students an immersive program that enhances the recruitment and retention of the most highly qualified and motivated undergraduates who are interested in pursuing neuroscience research at KSU.
    • Pilot Grant Program - This program supports cutting edge research to promote brain health in people of all ages, innovative training programs for the next generation of doctors and scientists, and outreach programs that benefit our local community and beyond. 
    • Endowed Chairs and Professorships - Endowed positions are permanently supplemented by the revenue generated from an endowed fund, created thanks to the generosity of donors. Endowed chairs and professorships also often provide the holder with additional funds for research, equipment or other support. Endowed positions are crucial for recruiting and retaining the highest-quality faculty, and donor support for endowed positions makes a lasting impact on the university and our students. 
  • Enhancing Research and Educational Spaces - Integrated Sciences Building Construction/Equipment  -  The lower level of this building will be finished to include research “collaboratories,” laboratories and space for student instruction. Funds will also be used to purchase necessary research equipment. 
  • Director’s Development Fund - General support will be used at the discretion of the director to support a variety of needs on behalf of the institute, its research and its students. This type of donor support allows us to be nimble and proactive when needs arise.
