Description
The American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA) Research Collaboration Grants promote team science by supporting collaborative research across institutions and disciplines. The program seeks high-risk/high-impact projects with the potential to change diagnostic or treatment paradigms for adult and pediatric brain tumor care. It supports early scientific studies that can help teams secure future funding and accelerate new approaches to understanding and treating brain tumors.
Projects may address any brain tumor type—benign or malignant, primary or metastatic—and pediatric, adult, or both populations. Multidisciplinary approaches may combine basic, translational, clinical, and epidemiological research. Investigators from outside traditional biological sciences are encouraged to apply. Research areas include biomarkers, tumor biology, clinical research, diagnosis, drug delivery, etiology, genetics, imaging, molecular/genetic epidemiology, novel therapeutics, and risk assessment.
