Research
We know that a cure for brain cancer will only be found by investing in novel, impactful research. That’s why we’re committed to funding initiatives right across the research pathway.

Our approach to funding research is guided by potential, innovation, and bold thinking. We actively seek out groundbreaking ideas from across Australia, supporting researchers who challenge convention and explore new directions in brain cancer science.
Our strategy spans the full spectrum of research, from foundational laboratory studies to translational projects and clinical trials, ensuring promising discoveries have the pathway to reach patients. We deliberately back initiatives that push boundaries and embrace risk, recognising that transformative breakthroughs often come from unexpected places.
Cure Brain Cancer Foundation funds bold, high-quality research focused on finding more effective treatments for both adult and paediatric brain cancers.
We invest in projects that address critical gaps in knowledge, accelerate promising ideas, and have the potential to improve outcomes for people diagnosed with brain cancer. This includes research across the pipeline — from early discovery through to translational and clinical studies — where there is a clear pathway to impact.
Our funding supports innovative approaches, collaboration across disciplines, and researchers with the capability to drive meaningful progress against one of the most complex and deadly forms of cancer.
Discover a variety of exciting funding opportunities available for brain cancer researchers throughout Australia. These grants and financial resources aim to support innovative research projects that can lead to breakthroughs in treatment and care for patients affected by this challenging disease. Stay informed about the latest initiatives and funding calls to enhance your research efforts and contribute to the fight against brain cancer.
