Through the work of the Research Office, Redeemer supports faculty in their pursuit of research funding, which is an important part of a successful research program. Redeemer awards a variety of internal grants to support faculty research and encourages the pursuit of federal research funding through the Tri-Agencies (NSERC<\/a>, SSHRC<\/a> and CIHR<\/a>). The Research Office also supports faculty application to other funding agencies such as the Canada Council for the Arts and The Reid Trust.<\/p>\n

Faculty members will find application forms, policies, and other information on Redeemer’s internal Portal. For all other questions, please contact the Research Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For Students<\/h2>\n

As a student of Redeemer, you may have the opportunity to engage in research in a particular class or with a faculty member. The Research Office serves students in two ways: by facilitating summer research assistant jobs through the Undergraduate Student Research Award program<\/a> and by providing information to students about the Canada Graduate Scholarship:<\/p>\n

The Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) program<\/h3>\n

This NSERC-sponsored program allows students interested in the natural sciences and engineering to work alongside a faculty member during the summer months on their research projects, while earning a competitive wage. Each year, Redeemer receives a quota of how many students we can include in this prestigious program. Learn more about the USRA program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Applications are typically due in January, and applicants are informed of the committee’s decision mid-February. Student award holders receive between $9,500 and $10,500 in salary for a 16-week period, depending on their experience and year of study. If you have any questions about the program, please contact the Research Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Canada Graduate Scholarship (CGS)<\/h3>\n

This prestigious award is valued at $17, 500. Find out if your prospective graduate school is eligible<\/a>. Students interested in applying must:<\/p>\n
