ANNOUNCEMENT FOR STS 2012   

  1. On behalf of Dr VM Katoch, Director General, Indian Council of Medical Research and Secretary, Department of Health Research, applications are invited from interested undergraduate medical students to participate in the Short Term Studentship Program (STS 2012).
     
  2. The Indian Council of Medical Research initiated the Short Term Studentship Program in 1979 in order to promote interest and aptitude for research among medical undergraduates. The main objective of this program is to provide an opportunity to undergraduate medical students to familiarize themselves with research methodology and techniques by being associated for a short duration with their seniors on an ongoing research program or by undertaking independent projects. It is expected that this may serve as an incentive for them to take up research as a career in the future. The Institution must provide the student with all facilities for carrying out research.
     
  3. The students are free to choose any topic of their choice in consultation with their guide for submission under STS.
     
  4. During the last 32 years, medical undergraduate students of various medical colleges in the country have shown keen interest in Council’s Short Term Research Studentship (STS) program. The Council has decided to continue this program by awarding limited number of studentships to deserving undergraduate students during the vacations for the year 2012.
     
  5. The student is required to register on ICMR website ONLINE by 10th January 2012, submit the application form and research proposal online latest by 25th January 2012. Proposals will be evaluated and results will be displayed on the ICMR website by end of March 2012. If selected, the student is expected to complete the project in any two given months between April and August 2012 and submit the report before the last date of submission i.e. 15th September, 2012.
