Discovery
Support Innovation at the U
When you make a gift to advance research at the University of Miami, you’re providing vital funds for groundbreaking discoveries that make a positive impact on our world.
Medical Research
Your contributions support our talented medical teams at Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine and UHealth—University of Miami Health System, whether they’re working toward the first successful human eye transplant in history at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, or developing promising new treatment strategies for cancer patients at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Academic Research
Donations to academic research across all our schools and colleges accelerate the efforts of our innovative investigators in fields ranging from materials science and biology to chemistry, engineering, and data science. Your support might fuel a project focused on measuring aerosols in the atmosphere to track large-scale weather patterns, or the development of environmentally-friendly wastewater treatment systems.
The U earned a reputation as a top-tier research institute through the dedication and ingenuity of our talented academic community. In 2023, the University was invited to join the prestigious Association of American Universities, an esteemed group of 71 leading research institutions. Today, we hope you join us in supporting our premier research enterprise as we continue to explore the boundaries of human knowledge.

• Miami’s Biscayne Bay provides an ideal natural laboratory for researchers analyzing issues such as extreme weather and sea-level rise.
• South Florida’s heterogeneous communities provide a unique window into the future of U.S. health care; this is particularly significant as Miller School researchers explore genetic predispositions and infectious diseases in the populations we serve.
• As an international city, Miami provides our teams with access to a wealth of global research partners, and the ability to share our knowledge with other institutions in the region, across the nation, and throughout the world.
