The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) Australian Brain Cancer Mission aims to support transformative improvement to the quality and length of life of people with brain cancer, with the longer-term aim of defeating brain cancer.

The objective of this grant opportunity is to provide grants of financial assistance to support medical research and medical innovation projects that develop novel approaches to reduce treatment toxicity and adverse effects of brain cancer treatment for patients, to minimise the short- and/or long-term negative impacts for patients and carers.

Applicants to this grant opportunity must propose to conduct research that delivers against the above objectives and those of the Australian Brain Cancer Mission as described in the Roadmap and Implementation Plan. Applicants are encouraged to propose novel and/or innovative research and describe how the outcomes of the research will be translated into health benefits for Australians.
