Tips for Applicants

Researchers should refer to the 'For Researchers' section on their website. The Foundation prioritises vital brain cancer research, including 'Innovation Grants' for projects that deviate from existing paradigms, bringing clinical trials to Australia (like the NICHE GBM trial), and collaborative research efforts such as the Australian Brain Cancer Mission.

Giving Philosophy

The Foundation's mission is to unite the community and rapidly increase brain cancer survival, improving the quality of life for people impacted by the disease, and ultimately finding a cure. They approach giving by funding innovative research projects (e.g., Innovation Grants), supporting clinical trials in Australia (e.g., NICHE GBM trial), engaging in advocacy (e.g., Avastin on PBS), and contributing to collaborative research efforts like the Australian Brain Cancer Mission.
