Undergraduate Summer Research

documents Go to Applications

Part of the IPHRC mandate involves the support of undergraduate students registered in degree programs. Applications are invited from Aboriginal students whose undergraduate program is involved in any health discipline. The research projects of other applicants must coincide with the research interests of IPHRC. The selection of undergraduate students for these fellowships will be based upon the following criteria:

  • Preference will be given to students of Aboriginal descent.
  • Preference will be given to students whose research project coincides with the research themes of IPHRC. In respect to the four pillars of CIHR, these directions shall not usually include biomedical applications, and will explore only very relevant clinical applications. The emphasis will be on health research rather than medical research, and a community-based approach will be fostered and emphasized.

Application requirements

  • Students must currently be fulltime undergraduate students and plan to return to school in the fall semester. Please provide copy of letter of acceptance or proof of registration.
  • Student’s current transcripts of undergraduate education must be submitted.
  • Completion of the IPHRC application form by both the student and the supervisor as identified on the forms.
