Sponsor
Brain Canada Foundation, in partnership with Cancer Research Society and Kindred Foundation
Program
The funding program is intended to provide opportunities for multi-disciplinary collaborations between basic researchers and clinicians to translate basic research to novel approaches for the study, diagnosis and/or treatment of pediatric and/or adult brain cancer. Projects should develop new translational solutions aimed at new approaches, diagnostics and novel modalities that:
- Advance our understanding of mechanisms that lead to brain cancer
- Create or test novel technologies, machine learning and artificial intelligence that improve brain cancer diagnosis and treatment
- Apply innovative solutions to target brain tumors at primary, metastatic and/or relapsed stage
- Develop or refine precision medicine solutions to make better treatment decisions for patients
Proposals studying all brain cancers are eligible, and we encourage applications from teams studying rare brain cancers to apply.
