Are you a UFV undergraduate student in the Natural Sciences or Engineering? Get paid to do research over the summer!
NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award Program (USRA) provides an award for undergraduate students in the natural sciences and engineering areas of study to engage in research over a 16-week period over the 2024 summer semester (May to August). These are competitive national-level awards.
Students must be available to work full-time during the 16-week tenure of the award, from May – August 2024, under the supervision of an eligible UFV faculty member. The faculty member must agree to supervise your work and complete the faculty supervision section of the online application located on the NSERC USRA Online System, and complete a UFV Faculty Supervisor Form.
