Transforming understanding and uniting voices in misophonia research and treatment.​

The Misophonia Research Fund (MRF) is focused on advancing scientific breakthroughs and ending suffering from misophonia. We support research investigating the causes of misophonia and look for effective, evidence-based treatments.

What is Misophonia?

Misophonia is a disorder of decreased tolerance to specific sounds or stimuli associated with such sounds.

Who We are

Misophonia Research Fund (MRF) seeks to foster innovative science and new treatments for misophonia through a competitive grants program.

Funding Goals

The Misophonia Research Fund intends to fund up to 10 Misophonia Research Impact Awards that seek to better understand misophonia, characterize symptomatology and associated impairments, and assess interventional strategies to treat those with the disorder.

New for 2025, the Misophonia Research Fund intends to fund up to 4 Misophonia Data Discovery Awards that seek to support innovative research to acquire important initial datasets to seed larger projects.

Misophonia Research Impact Award

$500,000 USD

Investigator research grants across 2-3 years

$200,000 USD

Postdoctoral research grants across 2-3 years

Misophonia Data Discovery Award

$75,000 USD
