Decades of Research Impact

Targeted Investments, Lasting Impact

Our impact isn't limited to individual discoveries and collaborative initiatives — it also comes from targeted, long-term investment. Two priorities anchor this approach: advancing research into pediatric low-grade gliomas and astrocytomas (PLGA), the most common childhood brain tumors, and cultivating the early-career investigators who will lead the field's next breakthroughs.


As researchers progress in their careers, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation remains a partner in innovation, providing seed funding for novel concepts and connecting them with additional grant opportunities and resources.

PLGA Research

Early Career Development

Pediatric brain tumor patients, their families, and doctors depend on the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation to make sure progress towards a cure doesn't stop. But while the need for childhood brain cancer research grows, funding isn't keeping up. Help us close the research funding gap. Donate or start a fundraiser today.
