Research Awards
University of Toronto Excellence Award (UTEA)
The University of Toronto Excellence Award (UTEA) provides opportunities for research experience at the undergraduate level in the Natural Sciences & Engineering (NSE), Social Sciences & Humanities (SSH), and Health & Life Sciences (HLS). Its purpose is fourfold: (1), to augment the formal research courses offered by the University of Toronto; (2) to provide undergraduate students opportunities to gain direct research experience on a faculty-led project; (3), to help students learn and appreciate the investigative methodologies of areas of particular interest; and (4), to foster interest in and knowledge of careers in research.
UTEA applications are jointly submitted by the student and the faculty member who will supervise and oversee the research project.

Undergraduate Student Research Award (USRA)
The Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) program supports more than 3,000 students annually and is administered jointly by Canada’s three granting agencies: the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). USRAs are meant to nurture student interest and fully develop the potential for a research career in health, natural sciences and engineering, or social sciences and humanities. These awards are also meant to encourage students to undertake graduate studies by providing research work experience that complements their studies in an academic setting.
The application for this program (Form 202) consists of two parts. Students must complete Part I, and Part II must be completed by the proposed research supervisor.
