Join NBTS’s campaign to raise awareness about the importance of biomarker testing and clinical trials for patients with brain tumors.
READ MORENational Brain Tumor Society (NBTS) is pleased to announce a request for proposals (RFP) for projects related to liquid biopsy as a part of a collaborative grant led by the Brain Tumor Funders’ Collaborative (BTFC). The Brain Tumor Funders’ Collaborative Liquid Biopsy Award is a collaborative grant sponsored by the National Brain Tumor Society and nine other brain tumor nonprofit organizations. The BTFC aims to fund projects that will accelerate liquid biopsy technology for brain tumors. Our goal is to help the scientific community make liquid biopsy a viable option for pediatric, adolescent and young adult (AYA), and adult brain tumor patient care. To this end, we seek Letters of Intent for multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary team-based projects in the amount of $500,000 over a two-year period. The total funding available for this grant cycle is estimated at $1,000,000. We welcome proposals that explore innovative approaches that could fundamentally change the current paradigm in Liquid Biopsy in neuro-oncology.
KEY DATES AND DEADLINES:
The United States government provides grant-funding opportunities through multiple agencies, departments, and institutions. While, most brain tumor researchers are familiar with opportunities through the National Cancer Institute (NCI), fewer are familiar with the other opportunities through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) – like the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) – or through the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program, which includes the Peer Reviewed Cancer Research Program (PRCRP). National Brain Tumor Society and our community of brain tumor advocates work diligently to ensure these programs continue and grow every year.
