NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA)


Are you an undergraduate student interested in gaining research experience in an academic setting that compliments your current studies?
NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) are designed to stimulate interest in research in the areas of natural sciences and engineering in an effort to encourage students to partake in graduate studies and pursue a research career in these fields.

For information on the financial amount of the NSERC USRA, please see UBC’s NSERC USRA page.

Students do not need to be in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department (ECE) to work with an ECE professor. ECE students, in turn, may also hold an award in another department or university, if you find a faculty member who is interested in supervising you.

Application Deadline for 2024 : Friday, March 8th, 2024, at noon
More information on the award can be found here.
