Description
The Team Jack Foundation supports promising research into the causes and treatment of pediatric brain cancer, with the goal of discovering more effective treatments and a cure. The program considers basic and translational projects that advance understanding of the underlying biology of childhood brain tumor development and treatment. Translational research applies ideas, insights, and discoveries from basic scientific inquiry to treating or preventing human disease.
Founded in 2013 by the parents of Jack Hoffman, the foundation seeks to improve treatment, quality of life, and the long-term outlook for children with brain tumors. Its highest research priority is work with the potential to make a significant difference to these children’s futures. Leading experts peer review proposals, with awards directed toward the highest-scoring studies demonstrating the greatest potential impact.
