Apply for Real-Time Research Review

Present your research to our trained Brain Tumor Research Advocates to get a patient-focused perspective in real-time to help you prioritize research topics, questions, or strategy. 

Applications for our monthly Real-Time Research Review Sessions are open to research projects focused on primary brain and spinal cord tumors, as well as CNS metastases, affecting adults, young adults, children, and their care partners.

Sessions can focus on any neuro-oncology research topic – such as quality of life, clinical or translational studies, medications, or patient education materials – to strengthen research and improve patient care.

Scientists at any career stage are welcome to participate. Investigators must be affiliated with an academic institution, health care organization, or community-based organization with an infrastructure and history of clinical research in the United States. Interested applicants must have a clinical or research doctoral degree and hold an independent position at an accredited institution.

We strive to fulfill requests and meet timelines; however, please note that sessions are held monthly and space is limited.
