Support CVL
Everyone Deserves Cognitive Health for Life.
A crucial issue confronting our society is learning how people can maintain cognitive vitality throughout their lives. In particular, by the year 2030, one in five Americans will be 65 years old or older. As this number grows, so will the number of people facing age-related cognitive impairment and diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. The Center for Vital Longevity is leading the charge to address this health crisis.
The CVL brings together a group of research scientists who are using advanced brain-imaging technologies and research techniques in cognitive neuroscience to understand, protect and enhance the vitality of the mind across the lifespan.
Our research aims to identify who is most at risk of cognitive and social impairment and evaluate interventions that might prevent or halt these impairments.
Whether you’re able to give $10 or $1,000, every dollar you give helps fuel innovative research and foster the next generation of scientists, graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows who embody the future of academic research, teaching, and discoveries.
Ways to Make an Impact
Denise C. Park Research Excellence & Innovation fund
The Denise C. Park Research Excellence and Innovation Fund supports the advancement of research at the Center for Vital Longevity on the science of the aging mind and prolonging cognitive vitality for life.
Post-Doctoral fellowships
Post-doctoral fellowships bring some of the brightest talents, who have recently completed doctoral degrees, to UT Dallas to advance their training before moving on to research positions or professorships. Post-doctoral fellowships are prestigious for the recipient and provide enormous value to CVL, which benefits from their research expertise.
Student Support Fund
Student support funds provide flexibility for schools, centers, and programs to meet student needs as they arise. Funds may be used to provide support for individual students or to serve the needs of many students. Named student support funds may be endowed with a minimum gift of $25,000, or you may make a current-use gift of any amount to the CVL Student Support Fund.
