Research Internship III (tech)

Content

Objectives and content
Research Internship (RI) III follows Research Internship II, and focuses on the active participation in academic research.  The goal of RIIII is to accomplish the research proposed in RI II. The student has a recognizable own input in the execution of the research, the analysis of the data and the recording of the findings in an English report.
 
Work format and Weekly Schedule
Research internship, lasting 27 weeks, and conducted within a UMC Utrecht research group. Internships at other medical research institutes or hospitals in the Netherlands or abroad are possible, provided that 1) recognized expertise in the area of the research concerned is present, 2) UMC Utrecht researcher acts as a formal supervisor and 3) approval from coordinator of the SUMMA longitudinal program Science has been given. 
 
The objective of RI III is the execution of the research project described in RI II. Students may thus commence their RI III in SUMMA year 3 or 4 if the research proposal of RI II has been approved by the coordinator.
The report may have the shape of a manuscript suitable for submission to an English scientific journal (the “article” does not need to be submitted to a journal). the report must provide a proper overview of all the work conducted during the RI III internship. A short article about a part of the RI III is not sufficient.
During RI III students will attend RI III presentations of other students and they will present their own RI III results after the completion of their project.  
 
More information on OP II and OP III procedures can be found on Brightspace.
