The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation
is committed to alleviating the suffering of
mental illness by awarding grants that will lead
to advances and breakthroughs in scientific
research.
For over a quarter of a century, we
have awarded nearly $300 million worldwide to
more than 3,000 scientists carefully selected by
our prestigious Scientific Council. 100% of all
donor contributions for research are invested
in NARSAD Grants leading to discoveries in
understanding causes and improving treatments
of disorders in children and adults, such as
depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia,
autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,
and anxiety disorders like obsessive-compulsive
and post-traumatic stress disorders.
As a result of the fundraisers of the past five
years, together with matched funds, Chrissy's
Wish has raised over $700,000 for BBRF,
formerly NARSAD.
