Brain Tumor Funders Collaborative’s $3 Million Immunotherapy Initiative 

The Brain Tumor Funders Collaborative is comprised of leading nonprofits and private foundations united to improve survival and quality of life for brain tumor patients. The BTFC funds multi-disciplinary teams and encourages proposals that span childhood through adult age groups.

The BTFC has pooled resources from six funders, including the PBTF, to invest in four immunotherapy projects that will help bridge the translational gap in brain cancer research. Each of these three-year projects will receive $750,000 grants from the BTFC.

The PBTF’s participation in this highly collaborative funding endeavor further solidifies the group’s dedication to advancing immunotherapy research for the benefit of children and adolescents diagnosed with a brain tumor – ensuring that pediatric brain tumors are a research priority and fostering productive collaborations between researchers studying brain tumors in adults and children.

It also presents the PBTF a remarkable and rare opportunity to multiply the impact of our $450,000 contribution to this large, strategic investment.
