Applications Open for 2025 Student EDI Research Awards

Applications are now open for the Student EDI Research Awards. Funded by the Office of the Provost and Vice-President (Academic) and administered by Equity and Inclusive Communities, the award provides funding for students to engage in faculty-supervised research projects that use EDI-informed considerations and reflect upon diversity and identities.

Students from all Faculties are invited to submit a proposal for an EDI-related research project that they will pursue from May 1 to August 30, 2025 in collaboration with a faculty member. A letter of support from the supervising faculty member is required as part of the application process.

Two student awards are available, one undergraduate and one graduate, each valued at $10,000. Award amounts include 4% vacation pay and research costs.

The application deadline is March 21, 2025. Additional details, including project eligibility and application instructions, are available on the Provost’s website. We look forward to highlighting the research outcomes from this important initiative in the Fall term.

Sincerely,

L. Pauline Rankin
Provost and Vice-President (Academic)
