The goal of the Bryon Riesch Paralysis Foundation is to provide grants to fund research in the hopes of finding a cure for paralysis. Applications for research grants are accepted from American investigators located at institutions that have established lines of accountability and fiscal responsibility. The intent of these grants is to promote new and exciting research in the field of paralysis. The amount of grant money distributed is pre-determined by the Bryon Riesch Paralysis Foundation (BRPF) Board of Directors.
