Early Career Catalyst Grants for Translational Neuro-Oncology Research
Funded by Beat Brain Cancer, the Foundation of the Society for Neuro-Oncology, the Early Career Catalyst Grants for Translational Neuro-Oncology Research are designed to support promising early-career investigators within seven years of completing fellowship who are conducting innovative translational research in neuro-oncology.
These grants aim to accelerate the movement of scientific discoveries from the laboratory into clinical application by funding projects with clear potential to impact patient care, therapeutic development, or clinical trial advancement.
In line with Beat Brain Cancer’s commitment to improving outcomes throughout the lifespan, two $60,000 awards will be granted:
- One award supporting translational research focused on adult brain tumors
- One award supporting translational research focused on pediatric/AYA brain tumors
In addition to the monetary award, the recipient will be featured on a SNO podcast and an abstract submission relating to the research and will receive “fast track” consideration for oral presentation during the SNO Annual Meeting.
Through this award, Beat Brain Cancer seeks to foster the next generation of translational leaders committed to improving outcomes for patients with brain tumors.
