HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT OUR RESEARCHOur research programs rely on the support of state and federal grants, but also on the generosity of individual donors. Donations for research support of chronic pelvic and chronic urogenital pain have often lagged behind donations for research concerning other diseases. One of the reasons might be that these chronic pain syndromes afflict an area of the body that is considered taboo in our society. Quite understandably patients are more embarrassed to discuss these health problems than health issues concerning any other areas of the body.People often ask how they can help to support our research efforts. If you desire to help, you can make a tax deductible donation in any amount by contacting the Fund for Johns Hopkins Medicine, Office of Development for Psychiatry and the Clinical Neurosciences at 410-516-6250.
