The Alex Manfull Fund

Mission

The Alex Manfull Fund (TAMF) is dedicated to advancing research, clinician education, and awareness about infection-associated neuroimmune psychiatric disorders in children and young adults — commonly known as PANDAS and PANS — with a particular focus on their impact on adolescents and young adults. By addressing critical gaps in care and driving systemic change, we strive toward a future where comprehensive, patient-centered, and equitable treatment is the universal standard for those individuals suffering from these debilitating disorders.

Vision

TAMF envisions a world where no young person's life will ever again be cut short – or interrupted – by any neuroimmune psychiatric disorder.

Goals

1.NEUROIMMUNE PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS RESEARCH GRANTS AND FELLOWSHIP FUNDS: TAMF advances research on neuroimmune psychiatric disorders by funding research grants and establishing PANDAS/PANS fellowship funds at top medical schools. These efforts foster innovation, improve care, and train physicians equipped to diagnose and treat affected youth.
2.CLINICIAN EDUCATION: Enhance clinician education across medical disciplines, focusing on front-line providers diagnosing and treating children and young adults with PANDAS/PANS. Initiatives include fellowship funds, professional symposia, targeted clinician presentations, and the development of CME opportunities to address the neuroimmune psychiatric clinician shortage.
3.PANS/PANDAS AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS: TAMF raises awareness of PANDAS/PANS through education, advocacy, and collaboration with researchers, advocates, and policymakers. Key efforts include our “36 Hours in DC” events, the Untangling PANDAS & PANS podcast, and support for the International Brain Bee to engage global youth in neuroscience and increase understanding of these disorders.
