The Center for the Study of Macular Degeneration is currently supported by grants
from the National Eye Institute, the Neuroscience Research Institute, the California
Tobacco Related Disease Program, the UCSB Office of Research and donations from
members of the community. The costs of performing biomedical research are exceedingly
high and current sources of revenue are not sufficient to fully support the multifaceted,
leading-edge research effort and long-term commitment envisioned for the Center.
Private support by generous members of the local and world community, including
national or international foundations and corporations, will continue to be crucial
to the achievement of our goal of understanding the causes of Macular Degeneration
and providing a foundation for new strategies for diagnosis and treatment.
You can help by providing a tax-deductible donation in any amount made payable
to:
UC Regents / The Center for the Study of Macular Degeneration
Named funds may be established for endowed or current use purposes, based on
campus guidelines. Annual contributions of $1,000 or more qualifies you for
membership in the Chancellor's Council at the University of California, Santa
Barbara. UCSB is an internationally recognized center for teaching and research,
known for its interdisciplinary programs and innovative research. It is consistently
ranked among the top American universities for the impact of its research programs
in both the sciences and humanities. Your gifts to the Center for the Study of
Macular Degeneration will help maintain UCSB's pursuit of research excellence
in the years to come.
