Undergraduates studying Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biomedical Sciences, Medicine, Physics or Engineering (particularly where there is a connection with the biosciences) are eligible to apply for a grant of up to £2,640 to cover the cost of a summer research placement (based on a maximum of £440 per week for 6 weeks). These grants are intended to support students in gaining research experience that will benefit their future careers. Applicants will need to upload confirmation of the offer of a placement, and/or their proposed supervisor’s approval, to the application form. Applications will be reviewed in Hilary and Trinity Terms.
