Personal Stories
Our Impact
| The Brain Aneurysm Foundation is the leading advocacy organization supporting education, research, and policy to transform the treatment of brain aneurysms. Funds raised are used for disease awareness efforts and grants that provide support to academic researchers studying the underlying biology of aneurysms or developing new treatment methods. Grantees include leading academic researchers whose work includes efforts to develop biomarkers to better predict and develop potential therapeutics for aneurysms, understand the impact of genetics on rupture outcomes, and create new device technology, drug delivery and robotic approaches to evolve treatment. The BAF has committed more than $5 million to fund dozens of research efforts in the U.S. and Canada. |
