Run for CPRF and help us raise funds for research into mental illness and addictions affecting 20% of Canadians.

Make a difference in the lives of millions of people living with mental illness in Canada.


The Canadian Psychiatric Research Foundation is a national charitable organization founded in 1980 to raise and distribute funds for psychiatric research and addictions and awareness in Canada. CPRF also produces the best-selling When Something's Wrong series of handbooks that translates this research into information that can be used in our communities at the grassroots level. We are volunteer driven, with a small staff, overseen by a volunteer Board of Directors and a Professional Advisory Board.

Each year, CPRF carefully evaluates grant applications from across Canada. A Professional Advisory Board of senior researchers reviews all applications to ensure that quality projects are recommended for funding. To date, CPRF has provided more than 11 million dollars in support of 312 fellowship and research grants at hospitals and universities across Canada.
