The studentship
The GW4 BioMed MRC DTP is awarding up to 55 studentships over a 3-year period. Projects are being advertised across the partnership in a range of disciplines, with the themes of Infection, Immunity and Repair; Neuroscience and Mental Health; and Population Health. Up to 19 will be awarded in 2018/9 (October 2018 start). The DTP also places a strong emphasis on cross-cutting skills priorities (quantitative skills, interdisciplinary skills and in vivo skills), and may also advertise projects outside these themes. The DTP welcomes students from non-medical backgrounds and can provisionally fund additional training to assist discipline conversion. Most studentships will be 3.5 years full time or up to 7 years part-time, and can be longer where additional training is required.
