E. Malcolm Field and Gary Leo Dunbar Endowed Chair of Neuroscience
The E. Malcolm Field and Gary Leo Dunbar Endowed Chair of Neuroscience was established in 2010 by E. Malcolm Field, M.D. of the Field Neurosciences Institute to honor and further the work of Gary L. Dunbar, Ph.D., '76, '77, and to recognize the progress of the CMU-FNI collaborative research efforts to find effective treatments for millions of people suffereing from devastating injuries and diseases of CNU (Central Nervous System) injuries.
The endowment will be used to support Dr. Gary Dunbar's collaborative research with FNI for the remainder of his career at CMU, at which point the endowed chair will be conferred onto another CMU neuroscientist within the Psychology Department, engaged in collaborative research with FNI and/or who has a proven commitment to research in the area of restorative neurology or functional recovery following CNS injury.

John G. Kulhavi Endowed Professorship in Neuroscience
The John G. Kulhavi Endowed Professorship in Neuroscience was established in 2004 through a generous gift from John G. Kulhavi. The gift is used to support an endowed professorship in neuroscience, which will be held by a high-profile neuroscientist who will help lead the neuroscience program and the BRAIN Center to achieve high levels of research and instructional excellence.
The Kulhavi Endowed Professorship is held by Dr. Gary Dunbar, who began his term in 2004. The professorship shall be given to a faculty member for an initial term of five years, after which a review period will determine if that occupant shall be reappointed or whether the search process should begin again. After a faculty member serves two consecutive terms, a new selection process will begin. The occupant of the chair may be considered as a candidate for one more five-year term.
