1907 Foundation

1907 Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Naples, Florida, with a team of three employees. The Foundation focuses on funding medical research aimed at improving the understanding and treatment of mental illness. Their primary funding vehicle is the 1907 Trailblazer Award, which supports promising young scientists in their pursuit of cures. 1907 Foundation prioritizes research projects rooted in biology, seeking to uncover the physical mechanisms underlying mental health conditions. The Foundation takes an "Illness Agnostic" approach, meaning they fund research projects across various mental illnesses rather than focusing on specific symptoms. They believe that a deeper understanding of the underlying biological causes is essential to developing effective treatments. 1907 Foundation emphasizes a "first principles" approach, aiming to address the root causes of mental illness rather than simply managing symptoms.
