Description: National Brain Tumor Society (NBTS) is a nonprofit organization committed to finding a cure for brain tumors. We aggressively drive strategic research, advocate for public policies that meet the critical needs of the brain tumor community, and provide patient information. Headquartered in Watertown, Massachusetts, with offices in San Francisco, California and Wilmington, Delaware, we host activities throughout the United States. Formed in 2008 by the merger of two leading organizations that had served the brain tumor community, the National Brain Tumor Foundation and the Brain Tumor Society, the National Brain Tumor Society is now the largest brain tumor nonprofit organization in the country. Both legacy organizations had been formed in the 1980s by parents and other people who were committed to increasing both research funding and access to resources specific to brain tumors. In 2010, the Kelly Heinz-Grundner Foundation, a Delaware-based organization, joined NBTS as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Founded in 2005, after the death of Kelly Heinz-Grundner to a brain tumor, the group has contributed to NBTS''s efforts to pursue research and public policies that benefit the brain tumor community. NBTS grant programs are effective for academic researchers, inclusive of industry expertise, and promising for the patient community. All funding is open to both the domestic and international research communities. The Innovation Research Grant Program supports catalytic transformative projects that will significantly move the field forward. These may include out-of-the-box projects or research that is critical to move therapies down the pipeline. Research that represents an incremental advance is not considered innovative. NBTS will accept Innovation Letters of Intent throughout the year. Researchers in academic or industry labs and at all stages of their career may be funded through this program.
