Summer Student Research Program

Summer Student Research Program

Welcome to the 2015 Summer Student Research Program! This package of material is designed to give you information on the elements of the program that we hope will make your summer a rewarding and enjoyable experience.

The primary purpose of the program is to expose students to a research environment and to have them develop research and laboratory skills. This is done largely by having students work on specific research projects under the direction of a designated supervisor and then present the results of their research in poster format in late July at the program’s Poster Day. Prizes are given for best posters and all participants are given gift cards to the UBC Bookstore.

The program also includes a seminar series on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, commencing Thursday, June 4. Tuesday morning sessions will involve students giving presentations of their research projects. In this way, each of you will be able to find out what the others are up to. Thursday sessions will include Faculty presentations on their research interests or subjects that we think are of interest to you.

On Thursday, June 18 students are also invited to attend the institute’s annual Trainee Research Forum. Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and clinical trainees will have posters on display. You are encouraged to view their posters and speak to them about their research. I encourage you to take this opportunity to learn more about a future in science and research.

At the conclusion of the program you will be sent an evaluation form. We ask that you complete the evaluation as soon as you receive it. We depend greatly on your input in designing the Summer Student Research Program for future years.

On behalf of the Research Education Office, I hope that you will have an interesting and enjoyable summer with us.

WELCOME TO CFRIThe Child & Family Research Institute (CFRI) is dedicated to research spanning a wide range of children’s and women’s health concerns. As a member of the CFRI community you are among some of the most respected scientists and trainees in their fields.

Incorporated in 1995, the institute features facilities in the heart of Vancouver that afford researchers close access to leading-edge health care organizations serving children and women from around the province. It is the largest research institute of its kind in Western Canada.

CFRI’s success over the past several years has spurred exceptional growth. To accommodate the boom, a $58.1 million complex with sophisticated equipment was added, effectively doubling the institute’s size. The new facilities, which opened in 2008, were designed to cultivate increased collaboration among basic, clinical and population health researchers.

CFRI is home to more than 200 faculty members associated with the University of British Columbia, BC Children’s Hospital and BC Women’s Hospital & Health Care Centre. Our members cover a wide variety of research interests on the leading edge of children’s and women’s health and health care services, including: Childhood Cancer & Blood Research Diabetes, Nutrition & Metabolism Developmental Neurosciences & Child Health Genetics & Health Immunity in Health & Disease Innovations in Acute Care & Technology Reproduction & Healthy Pregnancy
