Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) │Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)

May 1, 2025

Value

The total amount available for this funding opportunity is $1,020,000 enough to fund approximately 170 awards.

Description

Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRAs) are meant to nurture your interest and fully develop your potential for a research career in health, natural sciences, engineering, social sciences or humanities. These awards are also meant to encourage you to undertake graduate studies by providing research work experience that complements your studies in an academic setting.

Eligible Applicants

Most of the eligibility criteria for USRAs are the same across the agencies. One notable exception is the fact that, at the present time, CIHR and SSHRC USRAs are exclusively for Black student researchers. To be eligible to apply for these awards, you must self-identify as Black.

For further details, refer to the USRA program description.

Eligible Expenses

Applicants are advised to consult the Use of Grant Funds section of the Tri-Agency (CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC) Guide on Financial Administration (TAGFA) to determine if an expenditure is an appropriate use of grant funds.
