Feeding Hope Fund for Clinical Research & Training
What is the Feeding Hope Fund?
The Feeding Hope Fund will raise restricted funds designated for the distinct purpose of providing grants to:
- qualified clinical researchers who have been selected through our very competitive application process
- qualified clinical experts providing creative submissions for advancing the training and dissemination of evidence based treatments to fellow clinicians
Why support the Feeding Hope Fund?
Eating Disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illnesses. Considering 30 million people will have an eating disorder during their lifetime, research funding in this field is negligible, compared to other serious mental illnesses.
What will my investment do?
Your investment will address several key strategic goals of the Feeding Hope Fund. It will support and encourage clinical research in the field., it will provide models of dissemination and training, and it will inspire other to step forward, so that treatments are improved and a cure within our reach.

” I have always felt that eating disorders suffer the most persistent discrimination within the mental health community in both insurance coverage and research funding. I commend NEDA for raising awareness to these issues and for setting the stage for progress.” – Former Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy |

“…because they have the highest morality rates of all mental disorders, further research to better understand eating disorders is critical… Research is our best hope for effective prevention and even better treatments in the future.” – Thomas Insel, M.D. |
By choosing a level of giving below, your tax deductable donation will widen a path of exploration and discovery into the causes, treatment and potential cure for eating disorders. At the national level, there are very few research dollars set aside compared to incidences of eating disorders. Your gift and our ability to drive research will result in a powerful partnership, sending a signal that significant funds need to be devoted to research.
