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 / high-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\nFunding
 :        USD $50’000\n\nDuration:      1 year\n\nEligibility: 
 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 ha
 ve held a faculty position prior to 20/08/2011. For PIs within five years 
 of their first faculty appointment\, a Lead Mentor is required\; the Lead 
 Mentor must be at the same institution and must also conduct brain tumor r
 esearch. There are no restrictions on citizenship or location of the (non-
 profit) host institution.\n\nHow to Apply: The two-step application proces
 s begins with a letter of intent (LOI). The LOI follows a prescribed templ
 ate which gathers information summarizing the proposed research project. T
 he LOI should be submitted through proposalCENTRAL. Once registered or log
 ged in\, you can find the funding opportunity by searching for ABTA\, then
  download the appropriate guidelines and templates. The LOI submission req
 uires letters of support and signatures of approval from the Lead Mentor a
 nd the Lead Institution\; if you have any questions about these\, contact 
 the Research Office. Decisions from the LOI stage will be returned in mid-
 February.\n\nIf EPFL will serve as your host institution\, please use the 
 following institution name in proposalCENTRAL: Ecole Polytechnique Fédér
 ale de Lausanne EPFL. \n\nDeadline (LOI):
