The Nasivvik Centre for Inuit Health and Changing Environments announces
a call for Summer Student Research Award Applications (at the

to gain research and training experience by participating in research
during the summer months (May-August). Applications are invited from
researchers whose work focuses on one or more of the 3 themes identified

The Nasivvik Centre for Inuit Health and Changing Environments is a

The program is open to Canadian citizens and permanent residents of

supervising/hiring a student intern. Students must be returning to a
recognized undergraduate/graduate program in September 2009.
