American Brain Foundation (ABF) Grants
The ABF provides millions of dollars for grants primarily designed to generate preliminary data to support applications to the NIH for larger grants, and has been very successful in this mission. In addition to traditional grant applications, the ABF assists interested researchers in setting up crowd-funding initiatives to support their research.
