The Mellon Foundation supports the University at Buffalo's Communities of Care project. The interdisciplinary research project seeks to better understand and address issues faced by caregivers and those with disabilities. The project combines the expertise of UB’s Center for Disability Studies (CDS) and the Institute for Research and Education on Women and Gender (Gender Institute) to develop elements both within the university and throughout the larger community.
