As part of its policy of furthering research and education in the biology of reproduction, the Society for Reproduction and Fertility invites applications from undergraduate students for a limited number of Vacation Scholarships. The objective of these scholarships is to enable particularly promising students to work during the summer vacation in university departments or research institutes in the UK or Irish Republic on research projects related to reproduction, fertility and lactation in man and other animals.
Students should normally be in the middle years of their degree studies and may be considering research as a career. Projects can be a maximum of 8 weeks and will be funded at the same rate as the Welcome Trust summer studentships. Scholarships are not available for students to undertake projects which form part of their normal degree course. Novel, stand alone projects are encouraged and the SRF would strongly encourage award recipients (student or supervisor) to present their results at the annual SRF meeting if possible. Registration and reasonable expenses will be covered for any student presenting their scholarship data at this conference. In the event that the student/supervisor is unable to attend the SRF conference a full report will be required detailing the findings of their investigation. This report may be published in the SRF newsletter.
Only one scholarship will be awarded per student over the course of their undergraduate study and normally only one per department in any one year. Preference will be given to projects supervised by SRF members
The Deadline for applications will be the 31st of March, and applicants will be informed of the decision mid May.
