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 24 June and 19 July in 2024 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.
