About
MRF seed money grants program. MRF awards seed money grants of up to $50,000 to researchers for basic and clinical scientific research into the causes and better treatment of migraine.

After a careful review by our world-renowned medical advisory board, MRF's board of directors funded two of the proposals, awarding $97,000 in grants. MRF maintains a website with extensive information and resources for sufferers which is constantly updated and expanded. MRF uses social media daily to provide the latest information on migraine and research.
