Fundraising for the Institute is now a major priority. With the new scanner and building coming on line, labs must be fitted out, faculty must be hired and equipment must be purchased. All of these require significant financial support. The Institute is, in this area, extraordinarily lucky. We have an Advisory Board that has repeatedly stepped up to the plate and supported the Institute at critical times during its sixteen year history. Now, that Board, is once again engaged in a new campaign to raise monies that will support the massive new science initiatives of the Institute. With these new dollars, the Institute will expand its footprint in the area of translational research that will make a real difference for people who are suffering from brain diseases. At the same time, the Institute will continue to build upon its existing strengths in integrative neuroscience, complex adaptive systems and modeling socially complex systems.
The overarching goal is for the Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study to become an international center for top-flight “mind” research over the next decade.
