CFID Undergraduate Summer Research Grant

Eligibility

To be eligible for the program, students must be enrolled in a Canadian university and be in their 2nd year or higher. They must commit to 10-12 weeks of research, which can be a summer research project, an elective research term, or a co-op work-term. A minimum GPA of B+ (3.33 or 76%) is required. Preference will be given to research faculty who are members of CFID-partnered professional associations (e.g., AMMI Canada, CACMID). The research area must be relevant to the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of infectious diseases, with priority given to current focused research areas identified by CFID, such as water safety, antimicrobial resistance, rapid diagnostics, infection prevention strategies, and antimicrobial stewardship.
