Brain Tumor Research
The Heroes of Hope Grey Ribbon Crusade joins organizations and individuals as one united force against brain tumors. The group provides support for those affected by the disease and serves as a hub, allowing people to gather information and share resources, while providing a vehicle for fundraising.The union offers a unique opportunity to place increased hope on the horizon, by gaining knowledge of, discussing and funding prospective research projects that may soon lead to a cure. Many of these projects require immediate funding.
IF you are a researcher looking for funding for a brain tumor research project, go to our MEMBERS list and contact one member - and pitch your idea to them. IF they like it, they will ask you to fill out an application and then propose it to the group for you!
There are no deadline. We accept applications year round, get our board to approve them quickly, THEN work together here to find funding for projects that interest us.
