Research Grants
The Charity is the largest funder of brain tumour research in the UK.
A full list of past and current research projects, along with layman's descriptions, is available using the navigation tabs.
Completed projects have produced a number of published papers and some important advances which have greatly enhanced our understanding of the disease.
During 2008 the Charity is undertaking a review of its Research Strategy. There will be some exciting new initiatives including the introduction of Research Fellowships in 2009.

Collaborations
In 2006 SDBTT became a member of the Associaton of Medical Research Charities (AMRC).
In 2005 £400,000 was funded by SDBTT for setting up a new relationship with the UK Children's Cancer Study Group (UKCCSG). This enabled UKCCSG to fund two trial co-ordinators and one statistician to speed up all children's clinical trials throughout the UK, which will eventually lead to faster treatment.
In 2005 SDBTT was awarded a grant of £100,096 by GlaxoSmithKline for a research project at the University of Cambridge under Professor V Peter Collins.
In 2006 SDBTT received a donation of £190,000 from ICAP which has funded Dr Beth Coyle's project at Nottingham University with the balance being used for another project.
