answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2022 answer text <p>As part of the establishment of the Tessa Jowell Brain Cancer Mission (TJBCM) the Department announced £40 million over five years for brain tumour research through the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). In 2018, the NIHR released a public announcement to the research community making clear the desire to receive brain tumour research funding applications. However, we rely on researchers to submit high-quality research proposals, which includes the causes of treatment for brain tumours.</p><p>Working with the TJBCM, we have held workshops to support and encourage the research community in submitting more fundable research applications to the NIHR. We will also provide funding for the research training elements of the Tessa Jowell Fellowships to train specialist brain tumour oncologists and increase the research community in this area.</p><p>The recent designation of Tessa Jowell Centres of Excellence aims to unite professional, patient, charity and Government groups to share information and establish programmes which will lead ultimately to a cure for brain tumours. Additionally, the Tessa Jowell Academy is a new free learning and networking platform, connecting 28 National Health Service brain tumour centres to share excellence in research, treatment and care. Hosted on an online interactive platform, members have access to resources including courses and workshops, a peer-to-peer learning service, a bespoke clinical trial finder and networking opportunities. Academy content is created by clinicians and representatives from partner organisations with support of the TJBCM based on the needs expressed by the professional brain tumour community. The Department is liaising with the Medical Research Council on initiatives to stimulate discovery science to increase the research pipeline for brain tumours.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 25/04/2022 14:59:17 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
