Welcome to PREP @ UofT!
The Pathways to Research Excellence Program (PREP) is meant to serve as a gateway to academia for students who are Indigenous, Black, or racialized. Do you want to get your PhD doing research in Management, Neuroscience, or Psychology? Check out PREP @ UofT!
June 8 – July 31, 2026
Notice to PREP 2026 Applicants: We expect to announce the application results in the first week of April. We had a slow-down in our review process at one of the stages, and it has had a rippling effect. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
The application period for the 2026 Pathways to Research Excellence Program has now closed, although we still have some (dedicated) spaces for Indigenous students available. Please apply here if that applies to you!
