The British Society for Immunology(BSI) is launching financial support to both medical students and postgraduate students (PhDs & MScs) who are planning to undertake a formal placement in a selected laboratory for their medical elective or for placement. To be considered for support by the BSI, one must be a BSI member and the placement must have immunological relevance.

Eligibility

• Applicants must be either medical students or postgraduate students (PhDs/MScs), and have to be current BSI members.
• Planned placements must be greater than two weeks in duration (for shorter placements, please use the standard travel award application), and the placement must have immunological relevance.
• As part of the submission, the applicant will be required to describe the planned placement in detail, and their enthusiasm for the subject of immunology.
• The application process will need the formal support of the applicant’s supervisor in the form of a supporting letter, thus a letter of support from your placement supervisor should also be provided as part of the application.
• The applicant will be required to give a formal report of their activities for the BSI and this should be written in the style of an online blog within four weeks of completing the placement.

Up to £1,500 is available for successful applicants. Source
