Although the UW Memory Wellness Program successfully competes for research grants from organizations like the National Institutes of Health, it also seeks private funding from grateful patients and other members of the community. The reason is straightforward: the NIH and other public entities simply cannot support all worthy research efforts. They’re also less likely to support ideas that — though novel and promising — have not yet been tested. Private funding, in short, fuels research innovation.

Gifts from individuals, corporations, and foundations allow the UW Memory Wellness Program to expand its clinical and training programs, pilot new scientific research, and retain and attract the best faculty leadership and scholarship.
