Tri-agency Undergraduate Student Research Awards: NSERC USRA, SSHRC USRA, CIHR USRA

The Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) program is meant to nurture your interest and potential for a research career, and to encourage you to undertake graduate studies. It is an opportunity to gain research experience in an academic setting, while receiving financial support. Recipients engage in a research and development activity, under the supervision of a professor. The Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) program is funded jointly by Canada’s three national research granting agencies: the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). This program is also offered at other universities across Canada. To apply, you must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada, or a protected person.

SURA: Science Undergraduate Research Awards

SURA: Science Undergraduate Research Awards

Science Undergraduate Research Awards (SURAs) are for both Canadian and international Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ students registered in a science undergraduate program. SURA recipients will engage in full-time research and development activity under the supervision of a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ professor and will gain research experience in an exciting academic setting, while receiving financial support. First offered in summer 2007, SURAs are made possible by funding from generous donors, participating research supervisors, and the Faculty of Science. SURAs are similar to the USRA program; however, international Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ students may also apply.

Please refer to mcgill.ca/science/research/undergraduate-research/sura for more information.
