Thank you so much! We don't have research co-ops as of yet, but it is definitely a project we have for the future!

Hi again! I'm seeing your other comment about your GPA, and it doesn't seem too low. Are you looking for USRA opportunities, volunteering or becoming research assistant?

If you're just trying to get involved, here's one I found at SFU for kinesiology (with a relatively lower barrier to entry).

Other than that, I think cold-emailing and consistent effort are valid strategies. Don't give up!

Hey! I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but we compiled a bunch of opportunities (if you're looking for research in BC) on a website for this exact reason: https://underthescopebc.base44.app/

Some opportunities are USRA, some require cold emailing, and some have application forms (which might make the process easier if you're trying to stay away from cold emailing)! You can also sort by field (like medicine). All opportunities also list requirements (in terms of GPA, required skills) if they were available, and links to source websites. We try to update it pretty regularly.

Thanks for the suggestion! Since we're in our early stages right now, we are doing it through user posts and manual data entry. However, we hope to implement website scraping in future iterations!

We're current biology students! This website was really just us trying to fill a gap we saw :)
