What’s at Stake: Research and Impact

Brown research has a direct impact on the health, well-being, and experiences of people around the world, in addition to fueling discoveries and innovation that supports national security, the economy, and American competitiveness.

Ongoing threats to federal research funding have real-world consequences—not only for the Brown community, but also for the patients and communities that benefit from our research.

How you can help:

  1. One of the best ways to provide critical, immediate-use resources to Brown is by making a gift through the Brown Fund.
