CREATE BioActives Undergraduate Summer Research Awards 2019

Thanks to all those who submitted an application and Congratulations to the CREATE BioActives Undergraduate Summer Research Awardees, Jasmine Eng, Kathleen Bergin, and Julie Daytir. Welcome to the team!

CREATE BioActives Undergraduate Summer Research Awards are intended to stimulate undergraduate student interest in Chemistry, Biology, Pharmaceutical Science, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, and Pharmacology research. These awards encourage the pursuit of graduate studies as part of the CREATE BioActives Training Program in the aforementioned fields and develop trainees’ potential for research and industry careers in the natural sciences.

Awardees will receive financial support to conduct research during the summer months under the guidance of a CREATE BioActives faculty member. Also, awardees will usually present (preferably talk) at the summer Maritimes Natural Products Conference, attend industry tour/workshops, and produce a mini portfolio of experiences and expertise in collaboration with a BioActives graduate student as the coach for reflection. These opportunities aim to prepare trainees for graduate studies with the skills that are necessary for academic success. 

Eligibility

To be eligible for an award a student must normally be registered full time in a BSc program in the natural sciences in your 2nd‐ 3rd year of study at the time of application, have a strong academic record, and intend to pursue  grad studies in one of the research areas indicated above.
