Psychology Undergraduate Research Experience (PURE) Awards

Five awards of $6,000 each will be allocated to undergraduate students in their 3rd or 4th year of an Honours program in Psychology. These awards are similar to the NSERC undergraduate research awards in that funding will be provided for 4 months of full-time employment in a laboratory under direct supervision of a Psychology faculty member. Students are typically eligible to take up their award during the summer months, but other arrangements are also possible.

The purpose of these awards is for outstanding undergraduates to receive additional research training with the goal of increasing their competitiveness in funding competitions (e.g., for graduate-level awards from NSERC, SSHRC, & CIHR).

APPLICATION PROCESS

Students must submit a brief description of the research project to be pursued (no more than 500 words in length), an official transcript, and a letter of support from their prospective faculty advisor by MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2012. Letters of support should be submitted separately by students' prospective advisor, sealed in an envelope and signed across the seal. Application materials should be sent to Dr. Jason Leboe-McGowan, Associate Head (Undergraduate Studies) at P428 Duff Roblin.
