Research Summer School
RCSI Bahrain RSS
RCSI Bahrain RSS is designed to introduce RCSI undergraduates to the world of research as their first step in becoming future researchers. The RSS provides undergraduate students across all campuses (Bahrain, Dublin, Perdana and Penang) an opportunity to become involved in research projects during the summer months. In most cases, multiple students are selected for individual projects providing students the opportunity for local, international and interdisciplinary peer collaboration. Students spend approximately 8 weeks of the summer in a non-laboratory, laboratory or clinical setting, working on a research project under the supervision of an RCSI Bahrain supervisor. At the end of the programme, students are required to submit an abstract to the RCSI Bahrain International Research day and complete and present a PowerPoint poster/oral presentation of their research findings at the conference.
Applying for RCSI Bahrain RSS
I. Advertised projects
Students can apply for PI advertised projects. Students are responsible for ensuring that they meet any requirements stated by the PI's in the projects.
II. Student-driven projects
Interested students may approach a PI with a project idea which will be further developed collaboratively. Students with project ideas should identify an appropriate PI by exploring the research interests and backgrounds of available PIs before contacting PIs directly. Collaboratively, the Project Overview Form II can be prepared. The Project Overview Form II should then be submitted by the PI to rss@rcsi-mub.com by the closing date for evaluation.
