1/13/10. Three-year grants of $600,000 and one-year grants of $100,000 are awarded

The Goldhirsh Foundation is interested in providing strategic investment in brain tumor research to accelerate progress toward more effective treatment for deadly astrocytic tumors. The foundation seeks responses from investigators working in the continuum between basic research and clinical application, integrating and translating knowledge in various disciplines into meaningful progress for patients.

Brain Cancer Research - 21st Century Research Awards
http://fundingopps.cos.com/cgi-bin/getRec?id=1663

3/12/09 $450,000 over 3-6 yrs.

Award is designed to support research projects with a high probability of generating new knowledge and insights. Projects submitted for funding consideration should be at an early, even preliminary stage of development that intend to break new ground or to challenge commonly-held assumptions. The foundation is particularly interested in supporting novel research that will generate new knowledge leading to increased rates of survival and improve functional recovery for individuals with brain cancer.

Continuous. Detailed amount note, see URL

Support awarded through the 21st Century Science Initiative is intended to encourage new ideas and approaches, early in their development, that are unlikely to be funded from traditional sources.

American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA)
Translational Research Grants for Brain Tumors
http://fundingopps.cos.com/cgi-bin/getRec?id=21196

1/7/10, $50,000

ABTA Translational Grants program provides funding for neuro-oncology research. In this context, translational research is defined as pre-clinical research intended to evaluate the therapeutic potential of recent discoveries in the basic mechanisms of either brain tumor pathogenesis or experimental therapeutics. Human studies are excluded. The grants are intended to facilitate bringing potentially important research studies from the laboratory to the patient - bench to bedside.
