2026 Undergraduate Student Summer Fellowship Program

Brain Canada in partnership with the Huntington Society of Canada are working to attract the brightest young scientists into the field of Huntington disease  research and to facilitate meaningful research to clarify the biological mechanisms underlying Huntington disease pathology.   

In support of these goals, we are eager to announce the launch of the 2026 Undergraduate Student Summer Fellowship. These fellowships will support undergraduate university students across Canada in pursuing research projects aimed at developing a better understanding of Huntington disease.   

This funding is intended to support research projects that are focused and achievable in a short timeframe, yet helpful in guiding future research in Huntington disease.  

In order to be eligible for this funding, projects must take place over a 12-week period between May and September, and undergraduate students must be working under the supervision of a Huntington disease researcher with a faculty position.
