Description

The Laurisa S. Dill Legacy Award is an annual $25,000 grant established to honor Laurisa Dill’s commitment to mindfulness education and contemplative science. Administered by the Mind & Life Institute, the award funds one interdisciplinary research project each year that investigates contemplative practices—such as mindfulness, meditation, compassion, or movement-based practices—and their impact on mental health and community well-being. The program seeks to advance rigorous scientific inquiry at the intersection of contemplative wisdom and modern research, with the goal of fostering growth, change, and flourishing in individuals and communities.
