BRAIN TUMOUR RESEARCH

Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer... yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research is allocated to this devastating disease. This is unacceptable! Brain Tumour Research are striving to fund a network of seven dedicated research centres whilst challenging the government and larger cancer charities to invest more in brain tumour research.

BRAIN TUMOUR RESEARCH PETITION:

Brain Tumour Research are calling on the Government to ring-fence £110 million of current and new funding to kick-start an increase in the national investment in brain tumour research to £35 million a year by 2028.

You can read more about the petition here. Help them reach 100,000 signatures by Tuesday 31st October 2023.

 

Brain Tumour Research Novel Therapeutics Accelerator (BTR-NTA):

For tumour based studies, once your project has finished, you may want to consider the Brain Tumour Research Novel Therapeutics Accelerator (BTR-NTA) programme.

Funded by our funder, Brain Tumour Research, the BTR-NTA is an accelerator programme that provides independent and holistic guidance to help researchers position their therapeutic or technology along a realistic pathway to clinical trials. The BTR-NTA welcomes applications from academic and industry researchers developing any type of therapeutic (including delivery technologies) for patients with a brain tumour.

More information can be found on the Brain Tumour Research website under Accelerating treatments.
