About the NHP Summer 2023 Research and Training Program: The Network for Healthy Populations is dedicated to training and preparing the next generation of health leaders to address the rising risk and burden of diabetes and chronic diseases. The NHP is launching the Summer 2023 Research and Training Program for undergraduate, medical/health professional students, and graduate students currently registered at the University of Toronto. In doing so, we will support research projects that are in alignment with the NHP’s core, vision, objectives and core mission.
U of T faculty members or Network community partners wishing to supervise a summer student are invited to apply. The NHP will provide financial support for one student per supervisor to support a project over a 12 to 16 week that fulfills the following criteria:
The project addresses the burden of diabetes and related chronic conditions through better care, lower risk factors, or healthier living environments.
The project focuses on the Mississauga and Peel Region.
The project is feasible and appropriate for a student to conduct within a 12- to 16-week period.
The student will have regular supervision and mentorship from the faculty member or community partner.
Resources and operating support are available for the student to conduct the project.
Selected projects will be made available on NHP’s website, and eligible students will apply to a project via the NHP’s application process.
