The Alcoholic Beverage Medical Research Foundation (ABMRF) is the largest, independent, non-profit foundation in North America devoted solely to supporting research on the effects of alcohol on health, behavior and prevention of alcohol-related problems.
The Foundation was established as a 501(c)(3) organization in 1982 with the support of the malt beverage industries of the United States and Canada. This important relationship continues today.
Headquartered in Baltimore, the Foundation has supported research projects of more than 360 academic investigators at over 170 universities and research institutions in the U.S. and Canada. Many of North America's top researchers formed the basis for their groundbreaking work with Foundation grants early in their careers.
