Driving Change with Research Funding

Decades of Research Impact


Since 1991, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation has funded more than $60M in childhood brain cancer research at major institutions around the world. Those investments have helped fuel discoveries, launch collaborations, strengthen infrastructure, and advance new possibilities for children and families facing a brain tumor diagnosis. But decades of progress have also revealed where the greatest barriers remain.

And those lessons and insights have shaped what comes next.

Learn how PBTF’s research investments have helped move the field forward, and how our new strategy is carrying that momentum forward toward greater possibilities for children and survivors.
