Background:

National Brain Tumor Society (NBTS) unrelentingly invests in, mobilizes and unites our community to
discover a cure, deliver effective treatments, and advocate for patients and their care partners. NBTS is a
leading policy advocacy and research organization as well as a convener of brain tumor research leaders
including industry, regulators, funders, clinician researchers and patient advocates. The organization also
delivers timely information and support to patients and families. Through collaborative leadership with
partners, our results include paradigm shifting research discoveries, increased federal funding for brain
tumor research, innovative new clinical trials, opportunities for entrepreneurship and venture philanthropy to benefit brain tumor research, and empowering collaborative advocacy that results in reforms and advances to health care and the development of treatments.

While we have seen significant progress in terms of scientific understanding of brain tumor biology, we
are unsatisfied with the status quo of today’s treatment options. NBTS is committed to investment in new
ideas and research poised to incent the development and realization of treatments that dramatically
increase survival and quality of life for patients.
