Since 1976, the ABTA has awarded more than $30 million in research grants to scientists from around the world. The ABTA’s Research Program supports both established and new scientists in discovering more about the causes, effects, diagnosis, and treatment of brain tumors. Research funded by the ABTA has informed and influenced the brain tumor field in a variety of areas, including:

Funding for early career scientists who have the potential to change our understanding of brain tumor causes, effects, diagnosis, and treatment.
A partnership among private philanthropic and advocacy organizations to fund high-value projects.
A one-week course, partially sponsored by the ABTA, that emphasizes the molecular mechanisms involved in the growth and development of brain tumors.
With support from the ABTA, the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States (CBTRUS) collects and distributes data on the incidence and prevalence of brain tumors.
