About company
The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation is committed to alleviating the suffering caused by mental illness by awarding grants that will lead to advances and breakthroughs in scientific research. Since 1987 we have awarded more than $380 million to fund more than 5,500 grants. 100% of your contributions for research are invested in our grants to scientists thanks to the generous support of two family foundations which cover our operating expenses. The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation is the nation’s top non-governmental funder of mental health research grants, according to Rand Corporation. The Foundation funds the most innovative ideas in neuroscience and psychiatry to better understand the causes and develop new ways to treat brain and behavior disorders. We only fund scientists whose research is reviewed and recommended by our all-volunteer, world-renowned Scientific Council representing every major discipline in brain and behavior research.
