Giving

Thank you for considering a donation to the Parents & Science Discovery Fund. Your gift will help support the following:

The Parents & Science Initiative

Through a series of lectures, Parents & Science seeks to inform New York area parents about scientific discoveries that are transforming our understanding of child and adolescent health and development. Your support will enable the University to continue offering the lecture series, which is complimentary, as well as to develop additional programs for parents and children.

World-Class Biomedical Research

Scientists at The Rockefeller University are working on some of the most challenging biomedical problems of our time. Rockefeller scientists are known for their bold and original approach to the study of disease. Your support will help accelerate biomedical breakthroughs that our children will benefit from in their lifetimes. Contributions to the Parents & Science Discovery Fund support Rockefeller investigators working in areas relevant to child and adolescent health and development.

Science Outreach Initiatives

For over 20 years, Rockefeller University's Science Outreach Program has been providing students and educators with unparalleled opportunities to learn through scientific discovery. The Program offers professional development workshops for educators and a variety of experiences for students, including LAB Experiences for middle and high school classes; the annual Talking Science Lecture for high school students; the highly regarded Summer Science Research Program; and Science Saturday, an annual STEM festival that offers children (grades K–8), parents, and educators a fun-filled day of scientific talks, demonstrations, and interactive experiments with scientists on the Rockefeller campus.
