The Undergraduate Research Initiative (URI) supports the involvement of University of Alberta undergraduate students in research activities.  

Announcing the first-ever URI Stipend winners!

We are happy to announce the first-ever winners of the URI Undergraduate Researcher Stipend! This funding program provides $5,000 for an undergraduate student to undertake a research project full-time over four months or part-time over 12 months, with an emphasis on interdisciplinarity.

An adjudication committee made up of academics and students accepted 38 out of 158 applicants - ultimately, 36 undergraduate students were able to successfully accept the URI Undergraduate Researcher Stipend.

Congratulations to the successful students!
