Our Approach

 
National Brain Tumor Society research programs play an integral role in the progress of brain tumor investigations. Since NBTS is funded entirely by private donors – individuals, corporations and foundations – our research grants enable investigations above and beyond those supported by public funding through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Cancer Institute (NCI).

We see NBTS as a critical component of the wider brain tumor research effort, and we aim not to duplicate the efforts of other nonprofit organizations or foundations. Our research grant programs and other initiatives are wise, strategic investments across the research spectrum.

We fund investigations that seek new therapeutic targets and improve existing treatments, which will ultimately lead to a cure. Our staff and advisory team encourage research that connects directly to patient care and enhances quality of life for all brain tumor patients.
