The Faculty of Medicine Multidisciplinary Research Program in Medicine (FoM MRPM) provides undergraduate students with an opportunity to explore their interest in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research, by undertaking a summer project supervised by a cross-faculty pair of researchers.
Faculty of Medicine faculty interested in submitting a project can apply by January 19, 2023.
Research projects require one FoM supervisor and one non-FoM co-supervisor from another faculty. 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.
If successful, 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 through MRPM. Student applications will open in February, 2023.
