Migraine Research Foundation Information

MRF is a 501(c)(3) charity that raises money to award grants to researchers from around the world who are working to discover the causes, improve the treatments, and find a cure for migraine. MRF was established in 2006 to help the 38 million Americans suffering from migraine, an enormous public health problem that burdens society, business, families, and, most importantly, individual sufferers. Despite its vast prevalence and major impact, migraine is still largely undiagnosed, widely under-treated, and research is severely underfunded. Our grants support cutting-edge projects that enable scientists to explore original research approaches and seed new ideas. We select projects to fund through a highly competitive, peer-reviewed process. 100% of every donation to MRF goes directly to fund research as all of our operating expenses are underwritten. We also help sufferers by providing the most up-to-date information on our website, in our newsletter, and eblasts. Check frequently for up-to-date migraine information and resources. Our proprietary lists of headache specialists and comprehensive headache centers help you find expert help nearby. Contact us for more information.
