Program Eligibility and Requirements

Program Eligibility And Requirements

All BioZone personnel are encouraged to participate in CREATE events and workshops.

To be eligible for travel funding, entrepreneurship support and/or a CREATE stipend, trainees are required to submit a CREATE registration form and encouraged to participate in a working group. Stipend recipients must also complete the requirements below. Upon program completion, trainees may request a University of Toronto Co-Curricular Record (CCR).
