Science Undergraduate Research Awards - SURAs - are for both Canadian and international McGill students registered in a science undergraduate program. First offered in Summer 2007, SURAs are made possible by funding from the Dean of Science and participating research supervisors.SURAs are broadly similar to the听NSERC USRA; two differences are, on the student side, that听international students may apply,听and on the supervisor side, that they must hold a research grant from CRC, NSERC, CIHR, SSHRC, FQRNT, or FRSQ (it is not restricted to NSERC grant holders).
Every application must include a scenario for a remotely-supervised project that the student can start and finish remotely.
Applications will be submitted electronically (PDF).
Please check the Science Undergraduate Research Awards (SURA) website听periodically for possible updates.
