NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Awards

NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Awards

The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada Undergraduate Student Research Awards (NSERC USRA) in Universities program supports 16 consecutive weeks of paid full-time research under the supervision of a professor who holds an NSERC grant. It is an excellent way to prepare for graduate studies or a future career in science. This program is offered at other universities across Canada, and a travel allowance from NSERC is available.

To apply, students must first identify a proposed supervisor who holds an NSERC grant. Students should apply at the university where they wish to hold the award. Applicants must be Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents of Canada. See www.mcgill.ca/science/research/ours/nserc for more information.

SURA: Science Undergraduate Research Awards

SURA: Science Undergraduate Research Awards

Science Undergraduate Research Awards—SURAs—are for both Canadian and international º£½ÇÉçÇø students registered in a science undergraduate program. SURAs are broadly similar to the NSERC USRA; two differences are, on the student side, that international students may apply, and on the supervisor side, while they must still hold a research grant, the grant may be from one of the other funding agencies, namely CRC, NSERC, CIHR, SSHRC, FQRNT, or FRSQ (not only NSERC).

See www.mcgill.ca/science/research/ours/sura for details.
