    The Polly Caskie Research Fund

    The Polly Caskie Memorial Research Fund was established in 2001 by the Florida Family Research Network to honor Dr. Caskie and her contributions to the development of Bowen theory and its applications.

    Polly was a founding member and president of the Florida Network from 1995 to 2001. Her colleagues made an initial investment to begin the fund to recognize her achievements and to provide the opportunity for others to further the legacy of her inquiring mind and hard work.

    An annual award of $1,000 to support an important research effort in Bowen theory is made each year. The Florida Family Research Network has asked the Bowen Center for the Study of the Family to administer the fund.

    The Bowen Center is pleased to have the opportunity to honor Polly in this way. The Caskie Research Fund serves as a tribute to Polly and as an investment in the future of Bowen theory. The awards are funded by donations from those interested in contributing to research that will develop and extend Bowen theory and its applications. To contribute to the fund, please contact Ruth Sagar rrsagar@thebowencenter.org.
