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. As much as possible, the outline of the research should be written in lay terms. The members of the Research Committee of Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada, who will be reviewing the grant applications, are from many different backgrounds: medicine, industry, business, philanthropy, etc. If you feel that it is necessary to use complex terminology, please try to explain the terms as much as possible. The Research Committee may also seek the help of outside reviewers if it is deemed necessary. |
