The National Cancer Institute awarded two Brain Cancer SPOREs in the year 2002 by the P50 grant mechanism. Two additional institutions received Brain Cancer SPORE planning grants (P20 grant mechanism) co-sponsored by the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). The planning grant will allow investigators over the period of two years gain additional research data and apply for a full Brain Cancer SPORE in the next round. Here is the contact at NINDS in relation to the SPORE Program: Thomas P. Jacobs, Ph.D. |
