The International Brain Research Foundation, Inc. (IBRF) is a public charity that serves as a platform for funding leading neuroscientists and research institutions around the world. The objective is to maximize the potential benefits derived from basic research and translate it into clinically useful treatments for those afflicted with disorders of the brain.

Committed to excellence in the neurosciences, IBRF is dedicated to promoting brain health for a multitude of disorders. Our network of worldwide resources enables and strengthens multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary collaborative efforts within a unique infrastructure that accelerates and enhances clinical and translational research. The practical application of this work will benefit many individuals by resulting in advances that will improve or potentially reverse neurologic disease entities and create novel treatment approaches.

A three-tiered model representing basic scientific research, clinical and translational research, and a set of multi-university neuroscientific training and educational programs further strengthens our knowledge base of brain functions. IBRF fosters the development of innovative research tools and technologies that further enhances clinical practice. IBRF assists institutions in addressing complex issues with promising ideas, and creates and utilizes novel therapeutic interventions and high-risk therapies for uncommon disorders. IBRF establishes and maintains collaborative public-private partnerships and assists in procuring Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
