P2GS Student FAQ

What is the time commitment required?

The P2GS program runs May 2 – 27, 2022. You will spend the morning taking classes to build up your science skills and prepare you for upper year science classes. The afternoon (1:00pm to 4:30pm) is spent working on your research projects. This is typically a combination of meetings with supervisors, direct supervision from supervisors, working collaboratively with other lab members and independent work.

How do I know/how do I choose which Indigenous Pathways program is right for me?

Ttypically if a student has fewer than 60 credit hours, we encourage them to join the P2GS program. If they have 60 or more credit hours, we encourage them to join theISSP. P2GS is only 4-weeks long. There is no cost to the supervisor or student. In fact, the students get paid as research assistants. The ISSP program is 12 weeks long, with a possible extension to 16-weeks if the student and faculty member are interested in and eligible for theUSRA program. It is a larger commitment for the student and comes with a cost to the faculty member. Nora Casson (n.casson@uwinnipeg.ca) and Melanie Martin (m.martin@uwinnipeg.ca) are always happy to discuss the program with students and faculty members to find the right match for you!
