Eating Disorders Research
Eating Disorders Research Grants Program
The fundamental aim of this grants program was to understand the biology underlying the psychiatric disease anorexia nervosa, with the goal of accelerating progress toward prevention and treatment. We made grants to academic researchers for 1 – 3 year projects to research the biology of this disease, and the questions of how and why it develops and persists. We encourage approaches that incorporate neurobiology with an up-to-date understanding of the symptoms and dysfunction associated with anorexia nervosa.
At this time the Foundation does not have immediate plans for future RFAs.
