2025 Translational Research Grants in Brain Cancer

The funding program is intended to provide opportunities for multi-disciplinary collaborations between basic researchers and clinicians to translate basic research to novel approaches for the study, diagnosis and/or treatment of pediatric and/or adult brain cancer. Projects should develop new translational solutions aimed at new approaches, diagnostics and novel modalities that: • Advance our understanding of mechanisms that lead to brain cancer • Create or test novel technologies, machine learning and artificial intelligence that improve brain cancer diagnosis and treatment • Apply innovative solutions to target brain tumors at primary, metastatic and/or relapsed stage • Develop or refine precision medicine solutions to make better treatment decisions for patients Proposals studying all brain cancers are eligible, and we encourage applications from teams studying rare brain cancers to apply

This competition has an overall envelope of $2,000,000 CAD to support up to two grants of $1,000,000 CAD each, over up to three years, funded by Brain Canada and Cancer Research Society.
