DESCRIPTION:Aim:  The mission of the American Brain Tumor Association is 
 to advance the understanding and treatment of brain tumors with the goals 
 of improving\, extending and\, ultimately\, saving the lives of those impa
 cted by a brain tumor diagnosis. To this end\, the ABTA seeks applications
  from faculty who propose high-risk/\nhigh-impact projects with the potent
 ial to change current diagnostic or treatment paradigms for adult and pedi
 atric brain tumor care. The funding mechanism specifically encourages nove
 l research by allowing researchers to conduct the early scientific studies
  needed to secure additional/future funding for their projects.\n \nFundi
 ng:        USD 50’000\n \nDuration:      1 years\n \nEligibi
 lity: Grants will be awarded to a single principal investigator (PI). PIs
   must have a doctoral degree and a full-time faculty position\, but must
  not have held a faculty position prior to 20/08/2010. For PIs within five
  years of their first faculty appointment\, a Lead Mentor is required\; th
 e Lead Mentor must be at the same institution and must also conduct brain 
 tumor research. There are no restrictions on citizenship or location of th
 e (non-profit) host institution.\n \nHow to Apply: The two-step applicati
 on process begins with a letter of intent (LOI). The LOI follows a prescri
 bed template which gathers information summarizing the proposed research p
 roject. The LOI should be submitted through proposalCENTRAL. Once register
 ed or logged in\, you can find the funding opportunity by searching for AB
 TA\, then download the appropriate guidelines and templates. The LOI submi
 ssion requires letters of support and signatures of approval from the Lead
  Mentor and the Lead Institution\; if you have any questions about these\,
  contact the Research Office.\n \nIf EPFL will serve as your host institu
 tion\, please use the following institution name in proposalCENTRAL: Ecole
  Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne EPFL. \n \nDeadline (LOI):
