MAKE A GIFT

The CERN Foundation and the The CERN Foundation, a program of the National Brain Tumor Society, helps people with ependymoma and advances ependymoma research toward the development of new and better treatments through the creation of the Ependymoma Fund for Research and Education. Donations to the Ependymoma Fund for Research and Education will be made on the NBTS website and used to support research efforts that will benefit both ependymoma patients and research through CERN. Emphasis will be placed on CERN’s historical model of supporting work that translates basic science into clinical practice. The fFund will also address overcoming barriers to clinical trial accrual and the development of new clinical studies for ependymoma patients. Additional funds will be used to support educational efforts through print, media, and awareness events. The collaborative Ependymoma Fund will continue CERN’s practice and tradition of involving and collaborating with other scientists, medical providers, foundations and supporters of ependymoma research.
