The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University is not responsible for funerals, obituaries, or other services not specifically mentioned above. Neither you nor your estate is asked to provide financial help to prepare and process your Anatomical Gift. We do want you to know, however, that financial support is always needed and welcomed. To help defray our donor program costs, and to support our student research projects, we have established the Anatomy Research Fund. These monies not only support the research itself but are used to help students disseminate what they have learned to the scientific/medical community. If you would like to make a monetary contribution to the Anatomy Research Fund, please make a check payable to Brown University and send it to Anatomy Research Fund, The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Box G-B204, Providence, RI  02912.
