JUVENILE BIPOLAR
RESEARCH FOUNDATION

The Juvenile Bipolar Research Foundation is the first charitable organization dedicated to the support of research for the study of early-onset bipolar disorder.

JBRF has organized a consortium of world-class investigators from a number of medical schools, including the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Harvard University, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, and Rockefeller University.

These investigators are currently conducting studies in the fields of phenomenology, neuroimaging, neuropsychological testing, and molecular genetics. Because thousands of families have completed the online screening instruments developed by JBRF researchers, we have been able to assemble the largest clinical database in the world of children with, or at risk for, bipolar disorder. This data informs all of the JBRF research studies. Read More.

JBRF is proud to be part of the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). Please designate 12148 (MHAROA) when making your CFC donation.
