Funding Funding for the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States (CBTRUS) in 2008 and 2009 has been provided by the American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA), the National Brain Tumor Foundation (NBTF), and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation (PBTF). All three of these organizations are non-profits and depend on contributions to fund brain tumor research and patient and family services. The CBTRUS is honored to be included among their research grant recipients.
