BJI Undergraduate Summer Research Program

The undergraduate summer research program supports aspiring MSK researchers through funding, training, mentorship and networking.

If you are a Western undergraduate student working on a musculoskeletal health-related project, you are welcome to apply. This program is a great opportunity to further your MSK-related research, work in an interdisciplinary environment, gain technical expertise, and connect with mentors and a network of interdisciplinary researchers.

The program is full-time and trainees will receive a total of $8,680 in funding over 16 weeks (half through the BJI, and the other have through a 1:1 match from your supervisor or external funding sources.)

The Undergraduate Summer Research Program is funded by the BJI and administered by the Collaborative Specialization in Musculoskeletal Health Research (CMHR).

“Through my time in the program, I met and engaged with friends, colleagues and a professional network that I will carry for the rest of my life. I learned valuable lessons about the field and gained technical expertise I would have never otherwise received from my academic degree. I would recommend this program to anyone seeking to elevate their passion for research and accelerate their personal development.”
