Launching the Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research Projects in Health (MURPH)

Posted in Research News on October 15, 2019

MURPH

MURPH is a new undergraduate research program at UBC Okanagan, awarded through the UBC’s Program for Undergraduate Research Experience (PURE) competition, which aims to offer a unique cross-disciplinary platform to undergraduate students for engaging in academic research, while also receiving professional training through MURPH-specific workshops. The core component of MURPH includes project teams comprising multiple undergraduate students and faculty members across faculties to conduct applied health research projects. The Institute for Healthy Living and Chronic Disease Prevention is one of the lead supporters of this new initiative and a member of the MURPH management team. IHLCDP Associates Dr. Donna Kurtz (Nursing) and Dr. Charlotte Jones (Medicine), Dr. Brodie Sakakibara (Medicine) and Dr. Joan Bottorff (Nursing) are leading three of the nine funded MURPH projects.

Read more about their MURPH projects and the undergraduate students involved in these research training opportunities.
