National Brain Tumor Society

Grant Opportunities: Innovation Research Grant Program

National Brain Tumor Society funds grants for both, academic and industry researchers who have promising programs designed to advance potential therapies from research into clinical trial. All funding is open to domestic and international research communities and institutions.

Overview

The Innovation Research Grant Program supports transformative projects that will significantly move the field of brain tumor research forward. These may include "out-of-the-box" projects or new research approaches which are critical to move therapies through the drug discovery and development pipeline, more quickly. Research that represents an incremental advance is not considered innovative.

National Brain Tumor Society typically funds 1-2 Innovation Research Grants each year ($150,000 maximum award per year, for 2 years), and is currently accepting Letters of Intent (LOIs) until March 1, 2013. Researchers in academic or industry labs, and at all stages of their career, may be funded through this Program.
