Applications are invited for the round two of the Health Research Board (HRB) Internship Programme 2019. The Health Research Board (HRB) is committed to building capacity in health research, and to encouraging and supporting early and mid-stage researchers to develop their careers.
The Internship Programme gives researchers who have recently earned a PhD or an MSc an opportunity to gain first-hand experience of working in a State agency alongside experienced professionals. This is the second round of the 2019 call and one position starting in March 2020 is available for this call. Four additional interns will start in January 2020.
Internship Details
The duration of a HRB Internship is 24 months. HRB Interns rotate between the Research Strategy and Funding Directorate and the Health Information and Evidence Directorate, spending one year in each Directorate. Interns have an opportunity to experience each business area. They enhance their understanding of research governance and policy issues in areas such as ethics, data management, public and patient involvement, intellectual property, and research prioritisation. Each rotation includes a communications project.
Interns are exposed to:
- The way funding decisions are made and the critical success factors involved in securing funding
- How calls are developed and best practice peer review processes
- Factors involved in grant monitoring and evaluation
- The research governance and policy environment in which national and international research operates
- How health information is collected, collated and analysed
- The process for designing and conducting evidence synthesis and reviews
- How evidence can be effectively used to inform policy and drive the development of new and existing services.
Benefits
