Dr. Monica K. Li and Family Undergraduate Medical Student Research Award in Women’s Health

Applications deadline:

Wednesday, June 26, 2024, 11PM PDT

A key part of the Women’s Health Research Institute (WHRI)’s Strategic Plan 2019 – 2024 is our Strategic Framework for Trainees and Mentorship, which aims to expand capacity for women’s health research through initiatives that support the next generation of women’s health scholars. 

Thanks to an annual endowment by Dr. Monica K. Li and family to the BC Women’s Health Foundation, the WHRI has established the Dr. Monica K. Li and Family Undergraduate Medical Student Research Award in Women’s Health, a funding opportunity specific to our undergraduate medical student trainee community. This award is intended to provide support to WHRI-affiliated medical students who identify as a woman from racial/ethnic minority groups to pursue research in women’s and/or newborn health. This award could be used to support summer research placements, UBC FLEX research projects or other types of research activities.

We are grateful to the BC Women’s Health Foundation for establishing and supporting this new award!

The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
