Part I- Early Awards Information (for Pathobiology Specialist students only)

A limited number of awards are available to 2nd and 3rd year LMP Pathobiology Specialist Students who are interested in pursuing research in the summer of 2025. Preference will be given to top students who will be carrying out summer research for the first time.

You do not need to have a supervisor match to apply to the LMP SURE Early Award. The LMP SURE Early Awards are designed to provide financial support to help Pathobiology students more easily match with labs in their desired area of research.

The winner will be notified by email in mid-to-late January.
Two types of Early Awards are available:

a) Linda & Avrum Gotlieb Fund Supporting LMP Summer Student (1 award available)- awarded to the top Pathobiology Specialist applicant based on overall grade and application package

b) LMP SURE Early UROP Award (minimum 5 awards available)- based on overall grade and application package

**Students will be considered for both awards automatically using this form.

All students receive a $2,500 award to offset the supervisor stipend contribution. **These awards must be held with a LMP graduate faculty member (no exceptions) and be used during the summer of 2025.

***Students who are not selected for a LMP SURE Early Award remain eligible for the other Non-Restricted Summer Student Awards (UROP, UTEA and NSERC USRA). For the UROP award, you will be automatically considered when you submit the LMP SURE program application form. For NSERC USRA and UTEA, students will need to submit a separate application.

b) have at least a B+ (cGPA of 3.3) average
c) be enrolled in the LMP SURE program by February 25 (separate application) and your supervisor should hold a SGS graduate-faculty appointment.

Conditions:

b) only one summer research award can be held in the LMP SURE program;
c) if awarded a LMP SURE Early Award, I am NOT eligible for the Non-restricted UROP awards
