2012 NATIONAL SUMMER STUDENT RESEARCH PROGRAM AWARDS to Present Research Findings at the Canadian Society for Pharmaceutical Sciences Annual Meeting

1. Each Canadian Pharmacy School will receive one award worth $1,250 (in Canadian dollars) in-order to select an undergraduate pharmacy summer student to present their research project findings at the Canadian Society for Pharmaceutical Sciences Annual Meeting.

2. The funded student must complete a “hypothesis testing” research project and have had an abstract submitted to and accepted by the 2012 Canadian Society for Pharmaceutical Sciences Annual Meeting. Projects in all disciplines of Pharmacy (Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmaceutics, Pharmacology, Pharmacy Practice and Clinical Pharmacy) are eligible. All currently registered “full-time” undergraduate pharmacy students in good standing are eligible for this program. 

3. Each participating Pharmacy School will choose their own student and sponsoring supervisor and notify the National Director by March 1, 2012.  Abstracts for the poster to be presented at the 2012 Canadian Society for Pharmaceutical Sciences should be submitted online to CSPS Abstract Submission site, and to the National Director to be forwarded to the program committee.  If a school does not participate in this program, the funds will be given to another school (first come, first serve).  Each school will be responsible for determining the process by which they choose their student/supervisor representatives to the program. Each school will also be responsible for advertising this program to their students and faculty.

4. Funds will be released to the school upon notification of student name, supervisor name, title of research project, and confirmation of abstract acceptance to the CSPS annual meeting to the National Director Dr. Amyn Sayani at amyn.p.sayani@gsk.com.  Please include the name of the school administrator to whom the funds should be sent. 

5.  The student will be required to present their research project in the form of a poster at the 2012 Canadian Society for Pharmaceutical Sciences Annual Meeting, June 12-15, 2012, in Toronto, Ontario.  These funds are provided for use for travel and lodging purposes to attend this meeting only.
