NSERC USRA: Department of Neuroscience Eligibility Criteria

NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) provide financial support to undergraduate students while they gain research work experience that complements their studies within an academic setting.

These are prestigious and competitive awards which cover 16 weeks of full-time research work during the summer. Applications are typically due in February, and are assessed based on academic record, research aptitude, and the expected quality of the training to be received.

Students interested in holding an NSERC USRA in the Department of Neuroscience must meet the following eligibility criteria:

• Minimum Overall CGPA of 10.0
• Have not previously held an NSERC USRA at any institution
• In addition to the formal application process outlined here on the Faculty of Science’s website, applicants must also download and complete this supplementary application and email it to neuroscience@carleton.ca

All components of the application are to be submitted by the award deadline.
