Brain Research UK is a leading dedicated funder of neurological research in the UK. We fund the best science to achieve the greatest impact for people affected by neurological conditions, to help them live better, longer.

When the brain changes, we change. When it is struck by a tumour, an injury or a disease, the consequences can be devastating. We fund research to help understand the changes that take place in the brain, and how these can be overcome.

We are currently focusing on three priority research areas: brain tumours, brain and spinal cord injury, and headache and facial pain. These are areas where there is a large unmet patient need that is not reflected in current funding levels. By concentrating our efforts on these three areas, we can have a more significant impact.
