The internship opportunity in your research group

1. Please describe the proposed project/s the intern will work on during the period of their internship.

In describing the project, please make reference to the feasibility of the project in the 3-month/ 3-month equivalent period, the outcome/s expected at the end of the internship, and how this relates to and will impact on wider work done in your group. Please note that we cannot fund internships involving animal research.

2. How will you support the intern to achieve success with their project?

Please consider project set-up, how you ensure the researcher has ownership of the project, creating connections within and beyond the immediate team, technical support, access to all relevant data, review meetings, team meetings, other support.

3. Are there any ethical or other governance approval processes that need to be navigated in your organisation for this work to take place? If so, please describe, including timescales.

For example, you may need to consider seeking ethical approvals before the internship begins.

4. Who will provide day-to-day line management of the intern?

I confirm that the line manager has sufficient time to allocate to supporting the intern to have a meaningful experience, ie enabling them to develop networks with others in the field.

Project timescale

I confirm that I can recruit and select an intern by end March 2025

5. Up to £10k per internship is available. Please outline your proposed use of the budget.

We’d expect the intern to be paid at their current salary for the duration of the internship, up to £6,000 in total. Up to £3000 (inc VAT) is available for the host research group to cover incurred costs, eg to contribute towards bench fee and PI time, and up to £1000 is available for project-specific expenses. Please note that no other overheads are permitted.
