Make a Gift

Our goal is to develop a multidisciplinary program of pain research that has education, awareness, prevention and research as its key components. Each of these areas is important to improving the life quality of individuals with various age-related and disease-driven chronic pain conditions.

This goal will be accomplished by endowing professorships in areas that will contribute to the advancement of knowledge in these four key areas.

You can help by making a gift to the Comprehensive Center for Pain Research. Gifts and pledges may be designated for facilities, equipment or for the critical endowments that will support pain research, lecture series, clinicians and graduate fellows and students.

You may wish to make your gift to memorialize a loved one or to honor your family, a friend, colleague or perhaps even your physician. Your tribute can recognize a special person while assisting the UF Comprehensive Center for Pain Research in its mission.
