Supporting Research

​

Since 2011 we have funded a broad range of medical research into all primary brain tumours. Our research background includes laboratory work, clinical research projects, quality of life research, computer modelling and development of robotics.

 

Although a small charity, we can make a huge difference by funding new research to get it off the ground. This is often called pump-priming and it enables researchers, academics and clinicians to undertake proof-of-principle studies to facilitate the award of further funding (read about our previous stories and current projects).

​

We continually review to ensure that we have the right research priorities in place, having developed a strong Yorkshire network in the area of neuro-oncology. We're proud to collaborate and co-fund research with other charities, working together to achieve the best possible outcomes for brain tumour patients.

 

To determine what we fund, we call for applications and then use a process called peer review for applications of more than £30,000. Our Research Sub-Committee and Board of Trustees ensure that the research we fund is of the highest quality and best value for money.

​

The money we spend on research is 100% reliant on voluntary income; we do not receive any government or statutory funding.
