The American Brain Foundation brings researchers and donors together in the relentless pursuit of prevention, improved treatments, and cures for brain diseases and disorders. We invest in research across the whole spectrum of brain disease, including ALS, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, neuromuscular disease, epilepsy, and more. 

We know brain diseases are interconnected, and our innovative, whole-brain approach gives us an edge in understanding and combating them. Our holistic approach allows us to build bridges between diseases and break new ground. We understand that when we cure one brain disease, we will cure many.

The American Brain Foundation partners with the most respected organizations in the neuroscience community. All research funded by the American Brain Foundation is selected by our panel of experts on our Research Advisory Committee, and our founder and research partner, the American Academy of Neurology, the world's largest association of neurologists and neuroscientists. This unique partnership allows us access the best and brightest minds to source the most high-risk high-reward research on brain disease.
