The American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA) is now accepting Letters of Intent for its Discovery Research Grant program. They are due no later than Wednesday, October 7, 2015 at 12:00 noon CDT.
Discovery Grants are one-year, $50,000 grants that fund high risk/high impact projects with the potential to change current diagnostic or treatment paradigms for adults and children with brain tumors. Submission of discovery-driven science and proof-of-concept studies is encouraged, particularly for concepts with little or no history of previous funding.
“The ABTA Discovery Grant Program provides an opportunity for investigators from science disciplines outside traditional biological fields to propose innovative approaches to brain tumor diagnostics or treatments,” said ABTA Chief Science Officer Nicole Willmarth, Ph.D. “Since the Discovery Grant program was launched in 2010, we have supported projects in a variety of focus areas, including immunotherapy, new biomarkers, nanoparticles and stem cell research.”
