The Tibor Barsony Bursary recognizes researchers who carry forward the spirit of RGC's founder, a trailblazing advocate who helped break the silence around problem gambling in Canada. This year, that recognition goes to Nolan Gooding, a PhD Candidate in Clinical Psychology whose work is shaping the next generation of evidence-informed gambling harm prevention.
