Every gift to the Pulmonary Center is impactful.\u00a0 Smaller donations will be pooled to bolster research in the Center, including but not limited to the creation and expansion of lung disease biobanks, to fostering new collaborative interactions among independent researchers, to the purchase and maintenance of shared equipment, to improvements in specialized research facilities, and to pilot funds for testing bold new ideas that are still in early and more speculative stages.\u00a0 Larger donations can be used for training next generations of PhD scientists and MD pulmonology researchers, empowering discovery and advances immediately while creating new leaders that will drive progress against lung disease for decades to come.\u00a0 Even more substantive donations can establish endowed faculty positions, ensuring we recruit and retain the very best scientists for our team fighting lung disease.\u00a0 Finally, creating a permanent endowment for the Pulmonary Center would be game-changing.\u00a0 Such financial stability would enable us to fortify our existing strengths, to grow in new directions, and to become even bolder with our ambitions to prevent and cure lung disease.<\/p>\n
Every penny contributed to the Pulmonary Research Fund<\/strong><\/a> goes immediately and fully to the Pulmonary Center for its use in fighting lung disease. None will be used for any other purpose. If you wish to support the research efforts of a particular faculty member or against a specific lung disease, please communicate your wishes along with your donation. This may be an ongoing focus of philanthropy needs such as “Mary Williams Lecture in Cell Biology,” or “Jerome S. Brody, MD, Lectureship,” or it may be a particular direction such as “Sarcoidosis Research” or any similar designation. When specified, we apply contributions as intended.<\/p>\n To support research and researchers in the Pulmonary Center, please donate to the Pulmonary Research Fund<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Support for the Jerome S. Brody, MD, Professorship in Pulmonary Medicine may be donated here<\/a>. Support for the Gordon L. Snider, MD, Memorial Lecture Fund may be donated here<\/a>.<\/p>\n For discussions of potentially large or complex giving opportunities, please contact Dr. Joseph Mizgerd<\/a> (Director of the Pulmonary Center) or Ms. Maselli, Suzanne<\/a> (Director of Advancement, Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine Development Office, 617-358-9530).<\/p>\n Thank you for bolstering our fight against lung disease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Every gift to the Pulmonary Center is impactful.\u00a0 Smaller donations will be pooled to bolster research in the Center, including but not limited to the creation and expansion of lung disease biobanks, to fostering new collaborative interactions among independent researchers, to the purchase and maintenance of shared equipment, to improvements in specialized research facilities, and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1126,"featured_media":0,"parent":37,"menu_order":6,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/pulmonarycenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/653"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/pulmonarycenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/pulmonarycenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/pulmonarycenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1126"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/pulmonarycenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=653"}],"version-history":[{"count":31,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/pulmonarycenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/653\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5473,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/pulmonarycenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/653\/revisions\/5473"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/pulmonarycenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/37"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/pulmonarycenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
