Created in 2011, the DIPG Collaborative is an association of foundations unified with the mission of efficiently funding and inspiring diffuse instrinsic pontine glioma cancer research in the hopes of finding a wider cure for cancer. As part of an initiative of the DIPG.org Symposium meeting in March 2011, over 13 foundations met with researchers and cancer experts from around the world in the hopes of raising dedicated funds allowing for long-term protocols and registry data.
In 2012, a steering committee was appointed to carry out the operations of the DIPG Collaborative, led by the principal organizers of the original symposium. We welcome foundations from all backgrounds to participate in these initiatives and to become long term partners in the collaborative. To date, nearly $500,000 has been raised in the funding of innovative, dedicated DIPG research.
The DIPG Collaborative Symposium, originally held in Cincinnati in 2011, features cancer experts from around the world in collaboration with families and foundations supporting their work. Attended by over 15 foundations and 25 institutions from 7 countries, the DIPG Collaborative Symposium quickly became a dynamic cooperative exploring revolutionary DIPG research, clinical protocols and universal applications of DIPG research in the search for a cure for all forms of cancer.
The next DIPG Symposium will be held in Cincinnati, OH, May 2-4, 2013. For details and scheduling click here.
The International DIPG Registry is fully funded by grants and in-kind support from the following organizations. If you are a foundation interested in participating in the collaborative, please email us.
