NSERC USRA, PURE, and SSE summer studentship  

The NSERC USRA program provides support for research work experience in the natural sciences and engineering. Undergraduate students work full-time on a research project for 16 consecutive weeks on a full-time basis in a term (Fall, Winter or Summer) with a faculty member.

The NSERC USRA program is quota based with limited number of awards available. To be eligible, supervisors must be authorized to independently supervise students. The suitability of the supervision will be evaluated as part of the selection process. Subject matter for the USRA research project must fall in one or more natural sciences or engineering disciplines and cannot be health sciences related.  

The Program for Undergraduate Research Experience (PURE) provides multiple funding opportunities for summer student research. SSE offers additional summer studentships; however, students must apply through the application portal.
