Who can become a member

BTEC welcomes new members interested in the development of multi-center, inter-disciplinary collaborations that will lead to a better understanding of the etiology, outcomes and prevention of all brain tumors. Individuals can join as either active or associate members.

1. Active members: These individuals must be active or affiliated with research involving population science, have access to study resources, and be able to support or partake in some meaningful way to collaborative studies involving the practice of molecular epidemiology. Active members must attend at least one BTEC meeting within a two-year period. Only active members are eligible for the Advisory Board and are entitled to vote in BTEC proceedings.
2. Associate members: Any professional whose work involves epidemiology-related activities or the support of these activities and who desires to interact with the BTEC, can attend at least one BTEC meeting every two years, and agrees to support BTEC financially through payment of yearly dues. This category also includes non-scientist representatives of brain tumor advocacy organizations or other not-for-profit brain tumor support or research organizations, provided they have an interest in fostering brain tumor epidemiology.
