Discovery Grant is a one-year, $50,000 grant from the American Brain Tumor Association that funds high-risk, high-impact research with the potential to change current diagnostic or treatment models for brain tumors. Designed as seed funding for early-stage faculty-level researchers, the grant helps scientists develop new ideas and gather preliminary data needed to apply for larger grants.
