Our Story

About Cervello Research

Where scientific rigor meets community impact — bridging philanthropic vision and actionable research.

Our Mission

Bridging the gap between vision and impact

Cervello Research is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded to bridge the gap between philanthropic vision and actionable community health research. Originally focused on brain-health research, Cervello is expanding its mission to include the health outcomes of violence survivors, trauma patients, and the underserved communities that care for them.

We believe that rigorous, ethical research — paired with the right technology infrastructure — can transform how community-based organizations demonstrate their impact and attract the funding they deserve.

How We Work

Three Research Principles

Ethical Research

All Cervello studies operate under IRB (Institutional Review Board) oversight. Participant protection, informed consent, and data privacy are non-negotiable.

Public Results

Research findings are published in peer-reviewed journals and made available to the broader community. We believe publicly funded knowledge should be publicly shared.

Good Science

Rigorous, unbiased methodology is our standard. We don't publish what funders want to hear — we publish what the data shows.

Research Focus Areas

Mental Health
Co-occurring conditions, trauma-informed care, and psychological outcomes.
