Neurosciences at VCU

At VCU Health, our neurosciences programs are expanding access to care, launching new clinical trials and training specialists to help meet the needs of our patients and their families. Your generosity empowers us to increase our investment in patient resources, advance the latest therapies and provide unparalleled clinical training for tomorrow’s physicians.

Make an impact today:

• When you make a gift to the Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders Center (PMDC), you support translational research that turns laboratory discoveries into real-world treatments.
• A gift to the ALS Pathways to Possibility Trials Fund supports access to clinical trials in the Department of Neurology.
• A gift to the Neurology Current Fund supports research that advances clinical care in Alzheimer's disease and other neurological conditions.
• When you support the TREAT Lab Research Fund, you help advance faculty development, train providers and expand patient access to evidence-based eating disorder care.
• Your gift to the Povlishock Endowed Lectureship* will help the VCU Department of Neuroscience and Anatomy host lectures from world-renowned experts in brain injury, strengthening its mission to advance research, education and clinical care.

*The Povlishock Initiative requires a minimum amount of gifts to be received no later than January 1, 2028. If the Povlishock Initiative does not meet this funding deadline, all gifts will be used for faculty support and development at the discretion of the Dean for the VCU School of Medicine. Donors may not redirect to other initiatives if the Povlishock Initiative does not meet fundraising goals.
