Funding

The only structural funding the NBB receives is a small amount from the KNAW which only covers a minor part of the costs. The work of the NBB would therefore not be possible without the financial support of foundations, patients organizations and private individuals, and the contributions from researchers who receive brain tissue.

Grants

The NBB currently receives grants from:

€ 530.000 in the period of 2019 - 2023		€ 100.000 in the period of 2017 - 2019
€ 97.040 in the period of 2019 - 2021		€ 75.000 per year for a period of 5 years
