Investing in a Brighter Future
Endowments and private donations are vital for expanding research capabilities and securing endowed chairs. With this investment, we can develop therapies and cures for neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders, changing lives worldwide.




Invest in Lifesaving Neuroscience Research
Dedicated to advancing high-quality neuroscience research, CAHBIR uses state-of-the-art neuroimaging techniques. Our mission is to incorporate the latest technological developments, enabling researchers to explore the complexities of brain function in health and disease, pushing the boundaries of scientific discovery.
As the largest comprehensive addiction research center in the country, RARC brings together a multidisciplinary team of researchers, clinicians, and community members. The center addresses substance use and behavioral disorders through research spanning basic science, prevention, treatment, and public policy. From gambling to social media addiction, RARC leads efforts to tackle addiction from all angles, fostering impactful, science-driven solutions.
Launched in 2023 under the leadership of Dr. Michal Schnaider Beeri, the center drives clinical research to uncover the causes and develop treatments for Alzheimer’s disease. Donor support fuels this vital research, aiming to combat a condition affecting 6.5 million Americans and advance groundbreaking medical solutions.
BHI established RUCARES to advance autism research and improve support for individuals with ASD. The center integrates basic and clinical research, aiming to identify mechanisms and biomarkers, develop novel behavioral therapies, and create technologies to support both pediatric and adult populations. RUCARES is committed to becoming a world-class hub for autism research and innovation.
Gifts to this fund empower Rutgers to uphold its dedication to the common good through the creation, sharing, and application of impactful knowledge, driving positive change in society.
Connecting neuropsychiatric conditions to their underlying biological mechanism presents a significant challenge due to the brain’s complexity and the difficulty of linking brain structure and functioning to mental experiences. The mission of the Rutgers-Princeton Center for Computational Cognitive Neuro-Psychiatry (CCNP) is to bridge the gap between basic neuroscience research and clinical psychiatry by developing explanatory and predictive models of cognitive and emotional processes in a variety of neuropsychiatric conditions. The aim is to foster collaboration between researchers, clinicians, and data scientists to push the boundaries of how mental health conditions are diagnosed, treated, and prevented.
