Research Programs
A core mission of BD² is to provide unparalleled access to breakthrough insights on bipolar disorder.

The BD² Discovery Grants, Brain Omics, and Genetics Platforms are designed to share data, methods, and resources with the bipolar disorder research community. BD²’s commitment to open science invites researchers to access and expand upon new findings, accelerating the process of discovery across the entire bipolar disorder research landscape.
Discovery Grants
The BD² Discovery Grants are the cornerstone of our hypothesis-driven, cross-disciplinary program to improve understanding of the biological mechanisms of bipolar disorder.
Brain Omics Platform
A brain omics platform for bipolar disorder will provide state-of-the-art multi omics to understand neural and non-neural changes in bipolar disorder on a molecular scale.
Genetics Platform
BD² aims to close a fundamental gap in science’s understanding of the genetic mechanisms of bipolar disorder.
