WHO WE ARE
NRT (Neuro Research Trust)
The Neuro Research Trust (NRT) is a Registered Charity dedicated to providing start-up funding for high-quality, practical neurological research in less well-funded research areas.
Our Trustees are all successful business people wanting to help advance the treatment of neurological disease. All NRT costs are met by the Trustees, so 100% of money raised goes directly to research projects. Our accounts are regularly reviewed by our Independent Examiner, Moore and Smalley LLP.
