Biomedical Engineering Undergraduate Research Program (BURP)
The Biomedical Engineering Undergraduate Research Program (BURP) is organized by biomedical engineering graduate students and faculty. The transdisciplinary program supports students across multiple faculties and labs across campus and equips them with the necessary skills and information to have a fun and successful summer research term. Over the course of the summer, BURP organizes numerous workshops that might be of interest to all students undertaking a summer studentship be it via BME, PURE, CSM, NSERC or other awards.

Summer Undergraduate Mentorship Program (SUMP)
The CSM institutes are looking for graduate and undergraduate students to participate in the Summer Undergraduate Mentorship Program (SUMP) for Summer 2025. SUMP pairs first-time summer students with experienced graduate students, or undergraduate students who have previously completed a summer studentship.
The objectives of the pairings are:
- To engage in the topics or material of interest to the mentee
- To learn about research opportunities
- To provide feedback on writing or presentations
- To support students throughout the summer studentship and facilitate networking
If you are interested in participating, please complete the one of the following surveys by Friday, May 16, 2025 at 5 PM
Sign-up
The time commitment should be reasonable. Student mentees will meet with their mentor at least once a month and will be able to contact their mentor via email as needed. The time frame will be from June to August.
