Wk13: NARSAD: The Brain and Behavior Research Foundation

Donate to The Brain and Behavior Research Foundation
The Brain and Behavior Research Foundation [http://www.narsad.org/] distributes money to organization and groups that are studying brain disorders.  I kind of wished they actually worked on solving those illnesses, but I guess when you are studying something as diverse as the human brain, it is good to find those that are the most qualified for each area of research and help them out.  Per their website, "[they] have awarded nearly $300 million worldwide to more than 3,000 scientists. . ."  Their grants are used to fund projects that either study or work on treatments for depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and anxiety disorders in adults and children.  This organization just seems like a good, general research program that is trying to pool money to the best-of-the-best projects.
