Goal:
The CSN Summer Studentship Program is targeted to undergraduate and medical students. The goal is to allow students to obtain research experience related to stroke at a Canadian University or affiliated institution. Up to fifteen awards will be provided for the summer of 2010. The awards, valued at $7,000, are tenable for a period of 4 months (May 1, 2010 – August 31, 2010).
Application Process:
Applications are made by the proposed supervisor, not by the student. Investigators should submit electronically (preferably PDF) a 1-page Project Outline and the student’s CV and transcripts (a scanned copy of transcripts, signed by the supervisor is acceptable) to Robin Millbank (robin@canadianstrokenetwork.ca) at the CSN by Monday, February 22, 2010. The project must include involvement in research. Applicants need to have completed at least their first year of university. Investigators are not eligible to receive more than one studentship.
Review Process:
Applications for the Summer Studentship Program will be reviewed by a committee comprised of CSN researchers and Network associates. The committee will rate the applications using established criteria (eg., relevance to stroke and the goals of the CSN; feasibility and quality of the project; quality of the candidate; quality of the training environment.)
If you have any questions regarding the Summer Studentship Program, the application or review process, please contact Robin Millbank at the CSN at 613-562-5800 extension 8593 or by e-mail at robin@canadianstrokenetwork.ca.
