Part of the Nasivvik Centre’s mandate involves the support of research and training for undergraduate students. Each year, the Nasivvik Centre will provide funding for undergraduate students to gain experience in Inuit environmental health research by participating in an established research project during the summer months (May-August). Funding support shall be at the CIHR established level of $1,313/month for four months with a maximum award of $5,252. Applications for funding should be made by the researcher supervising/hiring the student.
Applications are invited from researchers whose work focuses on an issue of environmental health (the environment as a determinant of human health) which is important to Inuit health and communities.
Note: this competition is not designed to support student experience in projects that examine the health of ecosystems or specific components of the environment without inclusion of their impacts on or benefits to human health.
