Get Involved
There are so many ways you can help make a difference in the lives of patients and families today.
Our 2026 Brain Tumour Research Studentships offer undergraduate and medical students across Canada a valuable opportunity to gain hands-on research experience while contributing to advancements in brain tumour research.
These two-year awards provide $10,000 to support promising students conducting research to improve our understanding of brain tumours, advance treatment options, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
Continued investment in research is essential to uncovering how brain tumours develop and progress, identifying more effective therapies and improving the quality of life of those affected. By supporting emerging researchers, these awards also help cultivate the next generation of scientists and health-care professionals dedicated to making meaningful discoveries in the field.
Priority will be given to research focused on low-grade gliomas and rare brain tumour types, areas where greater scientific understanding and new treatment approaches are particularly needed. However, applications covering all areas of brain tumour research are welcome.
For more information, please contact Sue Ruypers.
Taite Boomer was a vibrant young Canadian whose courageous battle with a brain tumour inspired the creation of our Brain Tumour Research Studentships. Through the ongoing efforts of the Taite Boomer Memorial Brain Tumour Foundation, his legacy continues to advance research into the causes and cures of brain tumours by fostering the next generation of scientific leaders in this vital field.
