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 all up to date information on the NSERC USRA awards, please see the Faculty of APSC's NSERC USRA page.
To check if you are eligible to apply, please visit the Student Eligibility Page.
Make sure to check your emails around early February as the department of ECE will send out an award announcement and reminders to all undergraduate students with application instructions and deadlines.
Usually the deadline to apply will be around end of February each year.
Please note that once the competition is announced, students and supervisors must complete an online application on the NSERC website as well as applying to the department via email (see award announcement email in early February for these instructions)
A list of projects offered by ECE faculty members will be included in the award announcement email in early February. The listed projects are not exhaustive, and students are encouraged to contact faculty members they are interested in working with for possible other project ideas.
