The Edets’seèhdzà Research Mentorship Opportunity supports an Aurora College student to be involved in health research during their studies.
Edets’seèhdzà means ‘stepping forward to challenge yourself’ in the Tłı̨chǫ language. There have been five students supported through the Edets’seèhdzà opportunity since its launch in 2019. Research areas have included traditional teachings, family violence, Northern-focused perinatal care and Indigenous health research.
The Edets’seèhdzà Research Mentorship Opportunity provides a $20,000 salary for a student to be involved in an Aurora College research project during the school year (part-time) and the summer (full-time). Applicants must be a student in good-standing at Aurora College (any program of study). This year, the student will be paired with a health researcher within Aurora Research Institute to work on the "Spark the Fire" project. For more information about this year's opportunity and “Spark the Fire” project, see below.
The deadline for applications is November 30, 2023.
