The Violence Research Foundation is dedicated to understanding and reducing the causes of violent behavior; specifically those arising from neurotoxic injury to the brain. Through research, we support identification of the agents of neurotoxic injury; through education, we prevent injury by raising public awareness; and through governmental action we affect public policy to reduce neurotoxic exposures.  Our efforts give voice to the scientific community so their knowledge becomes known and utilized as a service to society.

VRF was founded in 1985 in California and is a 501(c)(3) organization.
