Goldhirsh Foundation Brain Tumor Research Awards Program

The Goldhirsh Foundation provides strategic investment in brain tumor research to accelerate progress toward more effective treatment for malignant diffuse glioma tumors. The Foundation supports investigators working in the continuum between basic research and clinical application, integrating and translating knowledge in various disciplines into meaningful progress for patients. Examples of funding areas include but are not limited to oncogenomics and proteomics, genetically engineered models, the discovery and testing of small molecule therapies, unusual drug delivery systems, or improved brain imaging techniques. Research projects at the interface of developmental biology and cancer along the stem cell to glial axis are eligible.

Two-year grants of $400,000 (inclusive of 10% indirect costs) and one-year grants of $100,000 (inclusive of 10% indirect costs) are awarded to investigators with a faculty appointment at a non-profit academic or research institution in the United States, Canada and Israel.
