Irish Cancer Society Summer Studentships 2022
Introduction
The Irish Cancer Society is now accepting applications for the Summer Studentships Award 2022. The objective of the Irish Cancer Society Summer Studentships is to offer excellent undergraduate students the opportunity to undertake a cancer research project and to work with researchers in high-quality research environments. This programme will give students the opportunity to gain research experience at an early stage in their career path.
There are four summer studentship awards available: two translational biomedical research summer studentships and two social, nursing, and allied health sciences summer studentships. Applicants can only apply for one type of studentship award.
Please note that this programme is subject to the evolving Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. In response to this, ‘virtual’, or ‘desk-based’, projects will be eligible, once said project fits all other eligibility criteria. All on-site summer studentships will be subject to the current health guidelines in place in Ireland at that time.
