Neuro-Oncology Grants & Awards

The Early Career Catalyst Grants for Translational Neuro-Oncology Research are designed to support promising early-career investigators within seven years of completing a fellowship who are conducting innovative translational research in neuro-oncology.

Funded by Beat Brain Cancer, the Foundation of the Society for Neuro-Oncology

The fellowship seeks to encourage and facilitate the development of successful career paths in the field of Pediatric Neuro-Oncology by supporting innovative research projects directly applicable to outcomes research in pLGG. This fellowship will also consider proposals investigating the long-term effects of targeted therapies in pediatric brain tumors.
