Purpose

The GSRA program provides financial support to graduate students from all disciplines wishing to bolster and support their research work. These awards are intended to provide research funding to outstanding graduate students, and encourage them to further pursue graduate studies and a research career. The number of awards available may vary from year to year.

General Information

Students may only receive one GSRA throughout their academic career.

Awards may be held at any time of the year where permitted by the student’s academic program, and may commence at a date mutually agreeable to the student, supervisor, and the University.

The student must work under the supervision of a tenured or tenure-track faculty member with an established research track record, actively engaged in research at the time of application and for the duration of the award.

The proposed research project, however, must be led by the student and not be a request to undertake research work within a faculty member’s research program.

This funding is not to be used for current course-related research projects.

Application Procedures

Application forms are available on the Research Office website at: uwinnipeg.ca/research/funding/undergraduatestudent-research-funding-opportunities.html

Submit the application, personal statement, transcript (WebAdvisor transcript acceptable), supervisor or academic advisor’s letter of support, departmental letter of support, and supervisor’s six-year research grant and publication history to the Research Office.
