The Pam And Rolando Del Maestro Family Undergraduate Student Research Competition Awards

Letters of intent are being accepted until August 20!

In 2017, The Pam And Rolando Del Maestro Family Undergraduate Student Research Competition Awards – named for Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada’s co-founders – were established to promote scientific innovation among Canadian undergraduate students.


This research competition is an opportunity for students to showcase their work to other scientists, researchers, and professionals attending the Virtual Brain Tumour Research Symposium on October 2, 2021. Students will have the opportunity to create a research proposal, practice presentation skills and receive constructive feedback from a panel that will include physicians and researchers.


A letter of intent to participate is due no later than Friday August 20, 2021 at 4:30pm (EST).

When it comes to research, funding matters

Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada approached University of Windsor’s Faculty of Science class with a simple idea – to better understand the brain tumour research landscape in Canada.


What we received in turn was a detailed breakdown of how and where brain tumour research dollars were allocated in Canada, and more insight into the proportion of labs doing brain tumour research in each province and territory.
