The Department of Physiology is pleased to announce the 12th annual 'Graduate Stimulus Package'. This initiative is intended to encourage members of the Graduate Department of Physiology to accept new MSc or PhD students into their laboratories. The terms of this program are as follows:
Up to 26 of $10,000 grant each will be given towards the stipend of a new graduate student who is registered in the 2020-21 academic year (limited to 1 year).
Students must be accepted by the Department and registered into the Graduate program (including the signed GEMS graduate student-supervisor agreement) by September 2020 to be considered.
The funds will be prioritized such that preference will be given to PhD students, especially PhD (direct entry) students. The remaining awards will be given to the MSc students on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Students with major awards will likely be excluded from this competition.
Final decisions on fund allocation will be made by the Graduate Studies Committee .
To be eligible, the laboratory of the principal investigator must be in 'good standing' in the Graduate Department of Physiology, with criteria for 'good standing ' to include:
On-time submission of annual reports by current graduate students in the laboratory
Routine meetings with the graduate supervisory committees (2 per year) for current graduate students in the laboratory
Ensure attendance of a minimum of 8 departmental seminars per year by current graduate students in the laboratory
Participation in Research Platform activities by current graduate students in the laboratory
Reasonable thesis completion times for out-going graduate students in the laboratory (e.g. 2 years for MSc students and 4-5 years for PhD students)
Participation in Departmental Educational Activities
