Widening the circle
The CIHM invites you to share in our vision for a better world. Our rich history of research, diverse team of scientists and unique facility and equipment provide an unparalleled foundation from which to build upon.
The groundwork
CIHM expresses its deep gratitude to the visionary donors, institutions, private foundations and organizations that have supported Director Davidson’s research and vision and now, the actuality of the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds. The groundwork – years of basic research, scholarly publications and building the team – has positioned CIHM to be a global leader in contemplative neuroscience. Without this foundation, this next chapter of research and the new CIHM facility would not be possible.
The time is now
As the Earth faces environmental threats, as human beings hunger for connection and happiness, the Center will develop and offer novel forms of mental training to a wider segment of our culture. In partnering with the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds, you will be investing in pioneering research and visionary outreach.
Your gift will allow the Center to:
- further explore how healthy qualities of mind affect the brain
- research mindfulness interventions for children and educators
- develop beneficial interventions for returning war veterans
- attract and retain top faculty, researchers, outreach staff and graduate students to ensure the work continues
To learn more about gift opportunities, please contact Molly Schmidt, Director of Development.
