The UMBTC prides itself on training future clinicians and scientists while conducting cutting edge brain tumor research. Contributions to the UMBTC (earmarked donations via the NMU Foundation, participation in the Hope Starts Here Challenge or tax-deductible donations through WeSearch), support the training of students and the advancement of our research. These gifts assist in the areas of our strongest needs, the consumables and reagents needed for these endeavors. These funds have also helped with the purchase of surgical tools for the O.R., assist families getting to clinical trials, and fund a study on the quality of life of care givers. We have partnered with WeSearch, a non-profit crowdfunding site, to facilitate a wide range of tax-deductible donations from general laboratory supplies to specific projects.
