Competition now open for the 2026 CBR/LSI Summer Studentship Program

Our Summer Studentship program provides students with an opportunity to get hands-on research experience during the summer months and to present their research at Research Day. This program also enhances the summer students’ learning with research skills workshops, career development events, and complementary social events.

Summer students will receive an award of up to $9750 for up to 16 weeks duration (May – August, 2026). These awards are designated for undergraduate students or medical students who are interested in working under the supervision of a CBR Principal Investigator (PI), Research Associate (RA), or Postdoctoral Fellow (PDF) over the summer period (May to August).

To apply:

• Students must connect with a CBR or LSI Principal Investigator, Postdoctoral Fellow, or Research Associate they are interested in working with.
