We are excited to announce the launch of the UBC Healthy Aging Summer Student Research Award competition. These awards are intended to support highly qualified undergraduate students from all disciplines and faculties who are interested in completing a research project that is relevant to the field of healthy aging. The award supports the student’s salary while they complete the research project over the summer (May to August 2023) under the supervision of a faculty member of the Edwin S.H. Leong Healthy Aging Program.
This award is open to undergraduate students from all disciplines, including those enrolled in undergraduate health professional degree programs (e.g. MD, DMD, BScN, etc.).
The duration of the award is 8 to 16 consecutive weeks of full-time work (35 hours/week) to be completed between May 1 to August 31, 2023. The award value will be $547.75 CAD per week (based on the BC minimum wage), for a total of between $4,382 CAD to $8,764 CAD, depending on the length of the work term.
The deadline to apply is February 15th, 2023. All questions regarding the application criteria and process should be addressed to the Research Director of the Healthy Aging Program, Dr. Kim Schmidt kim.schmidt@ubc.ca.
