Brain Tumor Epidemiology Consortium (BTEC)

The Brain Tumor Epidemiology Consortium is a 503(C) nonprofit organization which aims to support collaborative research and to educate the public on new findings in brain cancer research.

The Brain Tumor Epidemiology Consortium (BTEC) is an open scientific forum organized to foster the development of multi-center, international and inter-disciplinary collaborations that will lead to a better understanding of the etiology, outcomes, and prevention of brain tumors. During the process of attaining this mission, BTEC mentors junior investigators or investigators who are new to brain tumor epidemiologic research. Depending on funding, young investigators awards are given during the BTEC annual meetings.

The Brain Tumor Epidemiology Consortium is a group of researchers studying the causes and consequences of brain tumors. This international organization hosts annual meetings, facilitates collaborative research projects, and promotes the development of brain tumor epidemiology research. Their goals are to learn the causes of brain tumors so that they can effect change by reducing the incidence through prevention and early detection, and by improving outcomes for those diagnosed with this disease.

Mission:
BTEC’s mission is only to facilitate collaborative research; they are not a lobbying or advocacy organization.
