Research
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.
Each research grant helps to further support our mission of advancing the understanding and treatment of brain tumors.
