Goal:
To attract talented students to immunology research, the Canadian Society for Immunology (CSI) will provide matching funds to enable
undergraduate or recently graduated students to carry out summer research projects in immunology labs within Canada. This year's competition will support up to 5 awards.

students will be considered for the award provided that they have
exceptional qualifications, in particular previous research
experience.
- The research
supervisor must be a faculty member at a Canadian university or a
research
group leader at a Canadian research institute.
Research supervisor sponsoring a student must hold a CSI
membership for the current year as well as have been CSI members in the

Note:
A research supervisor can only be awarded one CSI undergraduate
research award every 3 years and can only submit one application per
year.
