In the UK today there are around half a million children and young people with brain conditions that result in complex medical, educational and social support needs. Our research work across neurodevelopmental conditions gives us a unique perspective within the charity research sector allowing us to provide research-driven solutions and advice to those who need it most.

Research Advisory Committee
The Research Advisory Committee provides scientific advice that informs Cerebra’s research strategy. It reviews grant applications, evaluates current research and advises our trustees on the relative merits of particular pieces of research before commissioning.
Research Support Network
Our Research Support Network is made up of people with lived family experience of childhood brain conditions. That could be as a parent, carer, sibling or as a young person directly affected. It is key to how we choose which research to fund.
