Non-profit community groups submit project proposals to CURE. If the proposal fits CURE’s mandate, the project is posted on our online project database, and is publicized through CURE on both McGill and Concordia campuses. Proposals are categorized either as semester-long projects, suitable for an honours thesis, internship, or independent reading class, or as short-term projects, suitable for a term paper or research essay.

Interested students select a project appropriate to their area of study, skill level, and program requirements. CURE liases between students and community groups, ensuring that each party is satisfied with the conditions and terms of the research, and the end product. Students must thereafter apply for academic credit through their specific departmental program — CURE will provide support and referral services for students throughout this process. Please refer to the ‘Students’ section of this site for detailed information about how to apply for credit from your University.
