Research Grant Program

Supporting brain tumour research in Canada allows each of us who are affected by brain tumours to both better understand this disease and to move closer to finding new treatments, improving current treatments, and enhancing the quality of life for brain tumour patients.

The Research Grant Program provides support to Canadian researchers with critical funds that help to propel their research forward into the future.

The application process for the 2012 research grant program is now closed - awards will be announced in April 2012.

Proposals that receive funding include research that involves any and/or all of the following:

• The development of new concepts
• Patient-oriented research such as clinical trials, epidemiological studies, quality of life studies, outcomes, health services research
• Pre-clinical research evaluating the therapeutic potential of recent discoveries in the basic mechanisms of either brain tumour pathogenesis or experimental therapeutics

Innovative research proposals such as those that incorporate novel or original concepts that have the potential to make a difference are also considered. Applications for grants up to $25,000.00 will be considered.
