Cure Kids funds four Summer Studentships annually, generally spread out over the four major research Universities and Medical schools – Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin. Cure Kids liaises with the university research offices, who present a number of research projects each year which all relate to illnesses effecting children. Cure Kids then allocates the funding accordingly.
