McKnight Brain Research Foundation
Evelyn F. McKnight Brain Research Foundation
In 1999, a generous gift from the McKnight Brain Research Foundation led to a new name for the University of Florida's Brain Institute — the Evelyn F. & William L. McKnight Brain Institute of the University of Florida. Evelyn F. McKnight and her husband William M. McKnight were interested in the effects of aging on memory, which inspired the establishment of the foundation as a legacy of support for research of the brain to alleviate the specific influence of age-related memory loss.
