Our Impact
Meet the students we have funded,
and learn more about their research.
We currently fund 2 PhDs every year. Our vision is be able to fund 5 PhDs every year. You can help us achieve that goal! We fund a range of topics, but we do have a particular interest in psychosis and schizophrenia because of our John Grace QC Scholarship and the Schizophrenia Research Fund.
