The Faculty of Medicine is excited to announce that the Multidisciplinary Research Program in Medicine (FoM MRPM) is relaunching for Summer 2023. The aim of this program is to facilitate and fund interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research at UBC. Project applications require two faculty supervisors: one from the FoM and the other a non-FoM UBC faculty member.
The deadline to apply for project funding is January 19th 2023, and student applications will open in February.
Applications should be submitted in research pairs and supervisors should search for a partner capable of providing specific research expertise. Finding a research partner is the responsibility of the supervisor. Students and supervisors apply separately. Supervisors will be provided a list of eligible students following project approval. Supervisors will receive up to three students, two non-MD undergraduate students (in their second year or higher) for 16-weeks ($8,400 student stipend) and one optional first-year MD student for 8-weeks ($3,200 student stipend). Supervisors are required to pay at least $2,400 per non-MD student contingent on eligible student awards.
