Grants

BBRF Grants are one of the highest distinctions in the field of mental health research. Many investigators go on to receive larger federal and private grants based on their BBRF Grant projects. No other organization outside of the federal government has funded the number of mental health research grants that the Foundation has—or been responsible for more breakthroughs in the field.
