Support Medical Research Funding for Fiscal Year 2026

To facilitate the breakthroughs the brain tumor community urgently needs, Congress must provide sustained, robust, and reliable funding for brain tumor research, treatment development, and health care services. Together, we can call on Congress to pass a full, bipartisan Fiscal Year 2026 budget that prioritizes medical research and health care programs for patients living with brain tumors.

Urge Congress to Continue Support for Public Policy Priorities for Glioblastoma

Our community unites to raise nationwide awareness of glioblastoma (GBM), one of the most complex, treatment-resistant, and deadliest types of cancer. The seventh annual GBM Awareness Day (July 16, 2025) brings together leading scientific and medical professionals, members of Congress and staffers, life sciences companies, and patients and families across the country who are committed to defeating glioblastoma. Take action today to build upon the increased awareness in Congress due to this event.

Urge Congress to support the BRAIN Act

The bipartisan BRAIN Act (H.R.2767, S.1330) is the first legislation designed to address the unique challenges faced by brain tumor researchers, clinicians, patients, and survivors. By advancing research, improving treatment access through public awareness of clinical trials and biomarker testing, and enhancing survivorship care, this bill aims to drive critical progress in the fight against brain tumors. Urge your members of Congress to support the BRAIN Act and help secure better treatments, improved quality of life, and a path toward a cure.

Tell Congress to Protect NIH Funding for Brain Tumor Research

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), and its National Cancer Institute (NCI), are the largest funders of brain tumor research in the world. Additionally, the NIH/NCI Clinical Center provides important access to second opinions and clinical trials for patients with brain tumors. Together, these agencies serve as the backbone for scientific and medical innovation in the brain tumor field, funding discovery research that serves as the foundation for breakthroughs in therapeutic strategies as well as supporting clinical research that helps develop, evaluate, and provide access to cutting-edge treatments.
