Delaware Center for Cognitive Aging Research
Support graduate student travel to attend conferences, share research and build networks.

About This Project

Attending scientific conferences is an invaluable part of graduate education. These opportunities help students spark new ideas, form lasting professional relationships and grow into confident researchers. This project will support a travel fund for graduate students working in brain health, dementia and related research areas. Your support ensures that these emerging scientists can fully participate in formative professional experiences while presenting their work on national and international stages. 

How your support makes a difference! 

Your gift will support a student researcher’s travel experience. Here are examples of how you can make an impact:

  • $25 to $50 offsets poster printing costs so a student can share their research.
  • $50 to $100 supports conference registration fees.
  • $100 to $200 contributes toward train or airfare expenses.
  • $200 to $500 covers one night of lodging and meal expenses.


Gifts may also be used as general support for the Delaware Center for Cognitive Aging Research.
