This scheme supports pilot studies that explore and develop novel concepts that may eventually lead to significant improvements in clinical outcomes, including quality of life, for people with brain tumours. We also welcome proposals that explore innovative approaches that could fundamentally change our understanding, diagnosis, and/or management of brain tumours. This scheme aims to allow the generation of sufficient data to support applications for larger scale projects to national/international funding organisations.

American Gastroenterological Association Foundation

Unlimited funding, Rolling application 

Bold ideas to help children with brain tumors can come at any time. The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation accepts and evaluates requests for research funding on an ongoing basis throughout the year so that researchers are able to develop these ideas into the next scientific breakthrough. There are no deadlines, and we encourage investigators to apply at their earliest convenience.

Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation Research Grant

The American Cancer Society (ACS) aims to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support and to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.

The ACS invites applications for the Clinician Scientist Development Grant (CSDG) program, which supports full-time faculty members in becoming independent investigators as clinician-scientists. This grant is designed for people trained primarily as clinicians who want to maintain clinical practice and conduct cancer research.

Grants of $135,000 a year for direct costs plus 8 percent allowable indirect costs will be awarded for three to five years.

To be eligible, applicants must work at a U.S. academic institution or eligible nonprofit, have a doctoral degree, an active clinical license, and participate in clinical care, not be a current or former primary investigator (PI) of an individual mentored training grant, and have not had an R-level or equivalent grant as PI.
