Form And Line ReferencePart I Line 2FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationAll annual research grants are reviewed by our research advisory network and evaluated on several criteria, including scientific merit of the grant application scientific background of the researchers the peer reviewed research publications of the principle investigators applying the supporting collaborative research environment in the research institution and the viability of research environment in the research institution and the viability of research proposed, and facilities available. Each grant recipient is required to submit periodic updates, and a final report before the final grant payment is made. Each research application has to have a hypothesis driven research proposal. Each application must have a list of specific aims that are to be achieved over the timeline of the research project. A timeline is requested for the achievement of the specific aims. The progress reports require that the achievement of the specific aims be detailed with a scientific description of the manner in which they were achieved. If an event has occurred that alters the achievement of the specific aims within the timeline of the research plan the researchers must give a reason that it has not been achieved and a no cost extensions may be requested, and a new timeline is established before the final progress report is issued. Each grant allows for the opportunity of a site visit by the PBTF and these site visits are made by the director of research as well as the senior scientific research advisor, the PBTF president as well as the executive director. Researchers present their research results in person and the PBTF asks questions about the results. All grant applications and research projects have the same requirements on grant approval and reporting regardless of the location of the researcher and his/her institution. These reports are reviewed by our Director of Research Funding and our contracted Senior Scientific Research Advisor. Final approval on all grants is conditioned on Board of Director approval.ExplanationTxt

Form 990, Part III, Line 4The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation PBTF leads the way in ending the childhood cancer communitys biggest crisis through research funding, family support and advocacy. Dedicated wholly to addressing this rare, but devastating disease and guided by the experiences of patients, survivors, their parents, and siblings, PTBF is the only organization to meet families needs along every step of their cancer journey. The largest patient advocacy funder of pediatric brain tumor research, we also fund and advocate for innovative projects that lead to vital discoveries, new clinical trials, and better treatments all bringing us closer to a cure. Research PBTF funds scientific research, provides educational, emotional and financial resources, and advocates for policies that improve outcomes and quality of life for pediatric brain tumor patients and survivors, and their families. In 2023, PBTF invested in 14 new research projects at 12 medical institutions in the US, funding basic science exploration, fostering collaboration in the field, creating opportunities for early career investigators to establish productive labs, and supporting key infrastructure, networks and consortia. Previous years seed funding also continued to deliver results, with investments in diagnostic advances, more translatable animal models, and the development of novel treatment approaches leading to researchers continuing to win multi-million dollar National Institutes of Health and other government and industry funders ensuring every donor dollar achieves its fullest potential to improve kids lives. Clinical Trials PBTFs funding of MEK pathway related studies from basic science through clinical trials has contributed to the discoveries of new targeted therapies for children with brain tumors, such as Novartis Tafinlar Mekinist, a targeted therapy approved by the FDA in 2023 for children with low grade gliomas with a BRAF V600E mutation. Low grade gliomas are the most common pediatric brain tumor, and children with the BRAF V600 mutation typically experience poor survival outcomes and a less favorable response to chemotherapy. As a first line treatment, children with this tumor type and mutation will now be given the opportunity to take Tafinlar Mekinist without having to first go through other treatments like chemotherapy and its toxic side effects. As survival rates for medulloblastoma and other types of pediatric brain tumors rise, its critical that researchers, patient advocacy organizations, and families understand how different treatments will affect survivors cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being over time. Studying a treatments long term impact can help determine its true effectiveness and ultimately lead to improved quality of life for survivors and their families. In 2023, PBTF and the Christopher Brandle Joy of Life Foundation teamed up to fund a prospective international SIOPE/CONNECT phase-III study that will compare the outcomes for two highly effective medulloblastoma treatment regimens, defining the new gold standard of treatment for young children with this malignant and fast-growing form of brain cancer. Delays in diagnosis lead to delays in treatment time that kids with brain cancer dont have. In 2023, PBTF partnered with Catching Up With Jack to bring the QIAcube, an advanced centrifuge technology, to the University of Michigans Koschmann Lab, accelerating their development of liquid biopsy tests. These tests offer a potentially game changing approach to diagnosing and monitoring pediatric brain tumors that would screen patients cerebrospinal fluid, blood, or plasma for the presence of circulating tumor DNA. Building on PBTFs previous funding of this faster and more accurate way to detect pediatric brain tumors, the technology funded through our most recent investment will help get this promising screening method out of the lab and into clinics faster. 2023 Family Support Program Highlights Because pediatric brain tumors are a rare disease, it can be difficult for patients, survivors, and their families to meet other people who share the same experiences. Through resources like our online support groups and peer-to-peer mentoring, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation connects family members with a welcoming and understanding community where they can learn and find support from other families like them. In 2023, we saw this community grow, with more families reaching out to help others facing the same challenges they once endured. Feedback from patient families and healthcare partners identified a significant need among native Spanish-speaking parents and caregivers for easier to understand information in Spanish. In response, PBTF expanded Spanish-language resources and outreach efforts in 2023, resulting in a 98 percent year over year increase in families accessing Spanish language support. Participation in online support groups expanded, with support groups for newly diagnosed, bereaved, and Spanish speaking families now meeting monthly. With the 2023 launch of our Sibling Space Art Support Group, siblings of children with brain tumors also have a haven to connect with one another and express their feelings through art. 2023 saw a significant increase in the number of parents and caregivers volunteering to offer one on one support to other families. Because of this, more families can now access peer to peer mentoring, including bereaved parents, with the number of bereaved mentors doubling year over year in 2023. Parents and caregivers of children with brain tumors are essential members of their childs care team and deserve to feel confident in their ability to advocate for their children. But because practical resources are limited and can be hard to find, families often spend time they dont have finding information they need. Thats why PBTFs new website, launched in 2023, is one place where any family impacted by a childs or teens brain tumor diagnosis can find reliable information for every phase of their cancer journey. The new curethekids.org, which also introduced a new look for PBTF, offers robust resource centers in English and Spanish guided by families feedback on the topics that matter most to them. Newly Diagnosed resource center offers information to help parents and caregivers anticipate whats needed in the first few months after their childs diagnosis. Life After a Brain Tumor Diagnosis provides resources to help survivors, family members and caregivers navigate long term effects, concerns about recurrence and progression, and ongoing care in the months and years following treatment. Support for Families focuses on connecting parents and caregivers with information and programs that address the medical, psychosocial, financial, and practical challenges families face. PBTFs new website and visual identity come at a time when diagnoses, mortality rates, and the number of survivors living with pediatric brain tumors long term side effects are on the rise. Its more important than ever for families to have the information they need to make critical decisions for the health of their child, and for supporters to help them along that path. Our new online presence provides families, donors, volunteers, and all other stakeholders invested in patients and survivors well being a place where they can find answers, inspiration, and community and support PBTFs efforts to cure the kids.
