Rebecca Quinn Morgan and her husband, James C. Morgan, donated $2 million to create a Director's Innovation Fund within the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research. The fund aims to support early-stage research projects that actively engage communities. This initiative builds upon various programs at the center, such as the Purpose Science and Innovation Exchange (PSiX), which focuses on enhancing the well-being of youth. Morgan, a long-time supporter of the college, emphasizes the importance of innovative work for lasting impact through this endowment.
"I am pleased to support engaged learning and translational research more broadly through the establishment of this endowment. I am confident that Tony and future directors will leverage it to foster innovative work with lasting significance."
"The center promotes working together with communities to develop and apply research and brings together a host of programs and projects, including youth development through New York State 4-H, Act for Youth and the Program for Research on Youth Development and Engagement (PRYDE)."
"The endowment will establish a Director's Innovation Fund to support early-stage research projects that meaningfully engage communities, which is a hallmark of the BCTR."
"PSiX will partner with youth-serving organizations interested in cultivating a sense of purpose to enhance young people's well-being."
