Mobility Experience

Graduate-level trainees will be required to experience a research placement of at least eight weeks duration in a partner community in Northern Canada, Africa or another low-resource setting. Mobility experiences (including travel and living expenses) will be funded by CREATE and institutional funds. All placements will be planned and managed collaboratively with our external partners. 

Field research will typically  take place near the time a trainee enters the final year of their degree program.

Note: undergraduate students participating in the summer research internship are not eligible for mobility experiences. 

In 2025, Olusoji Ogunbode travelled to Nigeria for his mobility placement. Read about his experience here.
