Build your research capacity with an EquaDem research internship

Are you a Health and Social Care Professional, or work with a Third Sector or Local Authority organization? If you’re looking to enhance your research skills while making a meaningful impact on health and social care, the EquaDem Research Internship might be the perfect opportunity for you. These internships allow release from usual workplace duties—up to one day a week for a maximum of 12 months—to carry our a supervised research project.

Internships must adhere to the following key principles:
1. involve co-production with people with lived experience/ service users.
2. focus on providing solutions to inequalities
3. Applicants should refer to the Focus On Research and Equity (FOR EQUITY) web-based platform when considering the health inequality aspects of their applications.
Throughout the internship, you’ll be supervised by two core members of the EquaDem network. You’ll also gain access to online training modules and other resources to support your research journey. In addition, you’ll be expected to:
  • Attend EquaDem workshops and events.
  • Contribute to the dissemination of your research (e.g., through blogs or web pages).
  • Present your findings at the annual EquaDem Conference.
For all types of internships, salary back-fill will be provided to the intern’s employing organisation to assist with time release. This will involve up to £5000 salary backfill (of which 80% is covered by this fund and 20% to be contributed by the intern host organisation) and up to £500 for research-related costs (such as public involvement, transcription, co-production) (of which 80% is covered by this fund and 20% to be contributed by the intern host organisation).
