Description
The ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation Fellowship Grant supports promising scientists embarking on careers in DIPG/DMG research. It funds outstanding pre-doctoral and post-doctoral fellows working under a mentor’s guidance, with researcher development central to its goal of building the next generation of leaders in the field.
