Description: |
The Ontario Genomics Institute?s (OGI?s) Summer Research Fellowships offer undergraduate students a unique opportunity to engage in meaningful, real-life research in genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, or GE?LS (ethical, economic, environmental, legal, and/or social issues relating to genomics and proteomics research). They form part of OGI?s efforts to build the future of genomics in Ontario. The Summer Research Fellowship is for $5,000. A travel allowance will also be available to students (and supervisors) outside the Greater Toronto Area to offset the costs of attending fellowship events. OGI strongly recommends that universities support these outstanding students by using other sources to increase the award. They may also provide fringe benefits, such as vacations and medical insurance. |
