Students spend three months at the Academy offices in central London. The schemes are designed to give students first-hand experience of the medical science policy environment, to gain insights into how research can impact on policy, and to build valuable networks with the UK’s most eminent medical scientists and key science and health stakeholders. Interns are supported by a three-month extension to their PhD stipends. The next round of applications for the Wellcome Trust scheme will open in spring 2015. Please contact Catherine Luckin (catherine.luckin@acmedsci.ac.uk or 020 3176 2166) with any queries related to this internship scheme. The Medical Research Council 2015/16 policy internship scheme opens on Monday 15 September 2014, and application forms are available here.
