In order to fund the most promising research, the National Brain Tumor Society offers grants to qualified researchers each year. Applications are put through a rigorous review process based on NIH's objective scientific peer review.
To learn more or apply for a grant, please visit the following:
- 2010 Systems Biology Application and Guidelines - Revised Deadline: December 17, 2010 (extended from earlier date to allow for international applicants). For more information, please contact Carrie Treadwell. (NBTS hosted a webinar in July to discuss the systems biology approach to brain tumors and the 2010 RFA. You can view a recording of this webinar here.)

Progress Reports
At the end of year one of a two-year grant, and the end of years one and two of a three-year grant, a detailed progress report is required. For both one- and two-year grants, a comprehensive final report is mandatory upon timely completion of the project. NBTS will no longer accept applications from institutions wherein a research grant recipient has neglected to submit the required reports.
A statement from the Principal Investigator’s business/grants office attesting to the receipt and use of the funds (required by the IRS) must be submitted at the end of each year of funding.
Progress Reports are due on July 1, 2010 and Final Reports are due on October 31, 2010 for Standard and Advanced grants. Due dates for reports for Innovation grants will be determined based on dates of award. All can be submitted via e-mail to ctreadwell@braintumor.org.
