BBRF Independent Investigator Grants

About this program

The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation (BBRF) offers Independent Investigator Grants providing up to $50,000 per year for two years (up to $100,000 total) to support established scientists during the critical period between initiating research and obtaining sustained funding. Awards target proven, highly productive investigators aiming to produce experimental results that will enable them to launch major, clinically relevant research programs in brain and behavior disorders. Applicants must demonstrate a strong track record of research excellence and productivity; application dates are currently being determined, so prospective applicants should monitor the BBRF website and join the foundation’s email list for updated guidelines and deadlines.
