Brain Tumor Research Awards Program
$600,000 and $100,000 USD Grants

The Goldhirsh Foundation provides strategic investment in brain tumor
research to accelerate progress toward more effective treatment for
malignant diffuse glioma tumors. Applications are encouraged from
investigators working in the continuum between basic research and
clinical application, integrating and translating knowledge in various
disciplines into meaningful progress for patients. Examples of funding
areas include but are not limited to oncogenomics and proteomics,
genetically engineered models, the discovery and testing of small
molecule therapies, unusual drug delivery systems, or improved brain
imaging techniques. Research projects at the interface of developmental
biology and cancer along the stem cell to glial axis are eligible.
