Research at Dalhousie Medical School

Faculty of Medicine

Undergraduate Summer Research Awards

Researchers in the Faculty of Medicine are eligible to apply for the Undergraduate Student Research Awards program administered by the tri-council granting agencies. This program awards funding that supports undergraduate students to conduct research in university laboratories throughout the summer.

The following competition will distribute NSERC-funded USRAs in the Faculty of Medicine, and CIHR-funded USRAs, which are protected for Black student researchers and open to all Dalhousie faculties.

Application Process

Undergraduate students who choose a potential supervisor in the Faculty of Medicine will apply via our online application form.  Detailed instructions and guidelines can be found on the first page and second page of the student application form.

All applications will be received by the Medicine Research Development Office.

Student and Supervisor Applications

Our applications are moving to SharePoint! 

Once construction is completed, we will post the link here!  Estimated to launch early November 2024!

Selection Process

All applications will be reviewed and ranked by the Scholarship Committee following the selection criteria provided by NSERC.

Following the review, each department will be informed about the number of applications received for their department, applicant information, and their rankings. Letters will further be distributed to the successful applicants and the supervisors.
