About the FGSR Summer Research Institute

Empowering Undergraduate and Graduate Researchers

Formerly known as the Undergraduate Research Professional Development program, the FGSR Summer Research Institute is a professional development initiative designed to support and inspire emerging researchers at the University of Regina.

Running from May through August, this institute offers a series of interactive workshops and training sessions focused on key research skills needed to conduct research, as well as, the skills to communicate and present their research to a broader audience. Open to both undergraduate and graduate student researchers, the Summer Research Institute is your opportunity to strengthen your academic foundation, connect with the research community, and prepare for future studies or careers.

Join us for the inaugural year of this exciting initiative and take your research to the next level.

UGRA & USRA Students

Each spring and summer, the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research (FGSR) supports undergraduate students conducting research through the Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) and Undergraduate Research Awards (UGRA). To help students make the most of their research experiences, FGSR offers a series of professional development workshops designed to build core academic skills, foster research confidence, and prepare students for future graduate studies.  

UGRA students are required to attend the orientation and feedback session, as well as one in-person and one online workshop to meet award expectations.  USRA students are encouraged to attend these least one of these professional development sessions.
