Description: |
Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada is a national, not-for-profit organization dedicated to reaching every Canadian affected by a brain tumour through support, education, information, and research.
The program supports scientific investigations being conducted in Canada into the cause, behaviour and treatment of brain tumours. Investigations focused on the mechanisms of brain tumour generation and growth, novel treatments, and on quality of life are of great interest. However, any proposal of scientific merit will be considered. Brain Tumour Foundation of Canda is seeking outstanding young researchers conducting
quality brain tumour research. All such proposals will be given serious consideration, including
pediatric brain tumour research and quality of life research. Additionally, we are interested in
receiving innovative research proposals -- those that incorporate novel or original concepts that
have the potential to make a difference. |
