The Juvenile Bipolar Research Foundation raises and
distributes funds for the most promising research into the causes,
treatments and prevention of early-onset bipolar disorder. The JBRF
is the first charitable foundation devoted solely to support research
in childhood-onset bipolar disorder.
Because of recent major advances in the neurosciences, neuroimaging
and molecular genetics, psychiatry and its related disciplines are
now poised, as never before, to more clearly elucidate the neuroanatomical
and molecular pathways that are responsible for specific psychiatric
diseases.
This scientific and clinical team is organized around a common research
aim: to advance the state of knowledge about this illness so that
more effective treatments can be developed.
