Undergraduate Student Research Award (USRA) Summer 2019

Deadline: WED FEB 13 at 4:30

The School of Kinesiology and Health Studies has 3 positions available in the summer of 2019 assisting with NSERC-funded research. VALUE: Awards have a maximum value of $4,500 for a 16-week period plus a supplement of at least 25% of the award value paid by your supervisor. NOTES: 1. Priority will be given to students who are registered in a PHE or KIN program at Queen’s. 2. Although NSERC states that an applicant "must have obtained at least a "B" (2.7) average in your

previous years of study" students are advised that due to the competition for the one position in the SKHS, students are not normally competitive unless they have obtained at least a minimum of A- (3.7 cumulative GPA) in their previous year.

3. A decision will be made shortly after the deadline so both the student & professor have time to plan their summers.

4. Aboriginal students are eligible for an additional position and are encouraged to apply if they meet the eligibility requirements.

This award is sponsored by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council (NSERC) to stimulate interest in research and to encourage undergraduates to undertake graduate studies and pursue a research career.

The Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA) and the Postsecondary Education Partnership—Alcohol Harms (PEP-AH) are thrilled to announce the launch of the first international Summer Leadership Academy for Alcohol Harm Prevention. The Academy will be a valuable opportunity for students to learn about global alcohol issues and alcohol harm prevention, build leadership skills and apply their knowledge to reduce alcohol-related harm on their campus.

Application Process Four ambassadors, one from each PEP-AH region (Western, Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic), will be selected to participate in an international Summer Leadership Academy for Alcohol Harm Prevention (the Academy), which will take place in English at the University of Ljubljana’s Faculty of Health Science in Slovenia, from June 16 to 22, 2019. Selected students — four of 26 in total from 12 countries — will participate for six days in expert-designed and delivered courses, conferences and workshops intended to help reduce alcohol-related harms on campuses. Programming also includes social activities and sightseeing of Ljubljana. PEP-AH will cover all academy-related expenses, including airfares, transportation to and from the airport, meals (breakfasts, lunches, dinners and coffee breaks) and accommodation in a three-star hotel.

Academy Participation Objectives and Requirements • Participate in the Academy to increase knowledge about alcohol-related issues and to develop practical

skills, related to prevention and awareness, media training, leadership, program development, and project and event management.

• Before departure, identify, in collaboration with their institution, an alcohol-related issue or problem on their campus they want to focus on at the Academy. Once back on their campus, in consultation with their institution, plan and implement a project or activity linked to the alcohol-related issue or problem identified before their departure.

• Present the project or activity and its implementation plan or status at the Kettil Brunn Society International Thematic Meeting in Sherbrooke, Quebec, on Thursday, October 3, 2019, and at their PEP-AH Regional Symposium in the fall of 2019. (Costs associated with these events will be covered by PEP-AH.)
