We invite research proposals across the full spectrum of brain tumour research, including basic science, translational research, clinical investigation (including early-phase clinical trials), health services research, population and public health research, patient-reported outcomes and quality-of-life studies.
Applications are welcome from individual investigators and multidisciplinary teams (submitted by a lead investigator). We encourage innovative and high-impact proposals focused on primary or metastatic brain tumours, including rare diagnoses, affecting infants, children, adolescents and adults. We especially encourage applications from early-career investigators.
