Why Support Monell’s Research?

The research environment at Monell—the freedom granted to its scientists, the resources available, the caliber and creativity of its members, and its multidisciplinary approach—has produced impressive scientific results over the past four decades. The contributions made by Monell scientists, both past and present, have advanced the field of chemosensory research and made the Center the world leader in this field.

To continue its commitment to excellence, Monell depends on funding from a variety of contributors: individuals, foundations, corporations and government. These funds provide us with the resources necessary to develop research projects that lead to new discoveries and scientific advancements.

As government funding for basic research continues to decrease, support from individual donors is more critical than ever. With your support, Monell carries on its mission of conducting basic research that provides the foundation for understanding and improving public health and quality of life.

Monell is ranked a four star charity by Charity Navigator:
