Beez Foundation for Pediatric Brain Cancer Seeks Grant Proposals

The Beez Foundation for Pediatric Brain Cancer works to cure brain cancer through research, public awareness, and related support activities for pediatric cancer treatment. The primary goal of the foundation is to identify and target key areas in the field of children's brain cancer research and patient services that are presently underfunded.

Grants are provided for:

1) Brain cancer research projects or studies designed to help advance the treatment, cure, outcome, and etiology of pediatric brain cancer. The foundation's particular interest is in the initial funding of projects that are likely to generate data that can be used in larger scale projects or studies. International applicants will be considered for research funding.

2) Patient services that are focused on making the lives of children with cancer and their families a little easier, with emphasis on pediatric cancer-related requests. Preference will be given to organizations in areas where the funds were raised, predominantly in the Mid-Atlantic region.

3) Educational tools designed to raise awareness of brain cancer and increase knowledge of patient treatment or options. Preference will be given to organizations in areas where the funds were raised, predominantly in the Mid-Atlantic region.

The foundation accepts for review all grant applications submitted by an accredited researcher, medical facility, research institution, or patient-service program that specifically addresses pediatric brain cancer issues, research, public education, or patient services. No grant money for salaries will be considered.

A total of $20,000 in grants of $1,000 to $15,000 will be awarded.

Complete program information and application procedures will be available at the Beez Foundation Web site in November, 2012.
