Mission

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.

About

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. Since 1987, we have awarded more than $450 million to fund more than 6,500 grants to more than 5,400 scientists around the world. Our model encourages new and innovative research in that we are able to support new ideas from bottom up generated by scientists. Examples include the early support for optogenetics, deep brain stimulation for treatment-resistant depression, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and rapid-acting antidepressants. Each of these important breakthroughs received initial key support from grants provided by the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation. 100% of every dollar donated for research is invested in our research grants. Our operating expenses are covered by separate foundation grants.
