You can help progress our research
You don't have to be a scientist to get involved with QBI. We offer a range of opportunities for everyday people to connect and progress our research and discoveries.
The foundation for all of our work is the funding that we receive through a range of sources, including philanthropic donations from our generous supporters. There are a range of ways to give to QBI: directly, through planned giving, or holding fundraising events that entertain or challenge supporters as they dig deep to help us better understand the brain.
We also offer opportunities for students to learn directly from our inspiring researchers through lab placements, and for community members to tour our facilities and attend events with the aim of increasing public knowledge about neuroscience. Finally, you can give one of the greatest gifts of all by volunteering for a clinical trial to directly advance treatments and diagnostics for brain diseases and disorders.

QBI’s Discovery Research Endowment Fund supports scientists exploring the unknown which will guide new research endeavours into finding cures for diseases or lifestyle improving applications.
The fund addresses unmet needs – supporting young researchers; backing early stage, high risk, high-reward projects; and providing seed funding to secure government support for larger initiatives.
This research can have an enormous impact on solving major health issues facing society today, including dementia, MND, depression, anxiety, stroke and more.
Community & school programs
