Our students are curious about the world around them. They have ideas to explore and creative impulses to nurture. At MacEwan University, we value student-engaged research and encourage our students to ask big questions.

Undergraduate Student Research Initiative
The Undergraduate Student Research Initiative (USRI), a subcommittee of MacEwan's Research Council, is responsible for developing our student research strategy as outlined in the campus Strategic Plan for Research. The plan focuses on fostering student involvement in research and providing students with the opportunity to deepen their knowledge.
The USRI collaborates closely with the Office of Research Services (ORS) and facilitates faculty mentorship for students engaged in conducting research and disseminating findings. As well, the USRI sponsors two internal grants.
Past recipients
Since the USRI grants were established, many students have had the opportunity to explore their research passion. Find out which proposals received funding.
