Today we’ve launched the next step in the UK’s commitment to stimulate #BrainTumour research in adults, children & young people.
The new calls for research are part of the UK Government’s commitment to expand life-saving & life-improving work in this area nihr.ac.uk/news/new-funding-…

Following the Government announcement, we're pleased to see a continued focus on research into brain tumours and a commitment to look at different ways of making sure the money committed back in 2018 is spent. Our CEO, Dr Michele Afif, says:

ALT Quote from Dr Michele Afif, CEO, The Brain Tumour Charity "We are delighted to see a clear commitment to ensuring that the money promised in 2018 will be spent. Our attendance at the roundtable today is the first step in working alongside Government, the NIHR, the Tessa Jowell Brain Cancer Mission and other key partners at a series of workshops that will ensure this money is spent where it will have the biggest possible impact, by bringing new treatments to patients through innovative clinical trial models and quality of life research"

Only 12% of adults survive beyond 5 years after a diagnosis of a brain tumour.
We're investing £40 million to accelerate improvements in the development, treatment & care of brain tumours in adults, children & young people.
