Winter Research Program
A new faculty
Medicine, and Health and Behavioural Sciences have been combined into a new faculty, Health, Medicine and Behavioural Sciences (HMBS), from 1 January 2025.
Some information remains on this website in the short term while we continue to build the new HMBS site.
Winter Research Program scholars receive a grant of $2,000, with scholars selected based on academic merit, motivation for participation in the program, and the enrolling unit’s nomination. Projects run for 4 weeks between 30 June and 25 July in 2025 and involve 20 to 36 hours per week, as advertised.
Student eligibility
Please refer to the UQ Summer & Winter Research Program page for more information, including the benefits for scholars and supervisors, and full eligibility and scholarship details.
Enrolled medical students cannot participate as the Winter program overlaps with MD academic timetable commitments. Alternate options are available via the Student Research Portal.
Projects
Projects available in the School of Public Health, School of Biomedical Sciences, Medical School, UQ Centre for Clinical Research, Child Health Research Centre, Centre for Health Services Research, Frazer Institute and QIMR Berghofer are listed on the page below:
Please take note of where projects are located and any additional site requirements, and the instructions about contacting the supervisor prior to applying.
These projects might be located at multiple sites at St Lucia, Dutton Park and Herston campuses or hospitals in Brisbane and SE Queensland.
Some projects are located at clinical sites and may require students to meet additional OH&S requirements e.g. evidence of vaccinations, Blue Cards, inductions or other governance requirements.
