Internships
A large component of CLAHRC NWC was working to grow the careers of our Interns and Researchers, helping them find new avenues of development. Over 60 internships were completed under CLAHRC NWC. The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) still provides training and career development awards ranging from undergraduate level through to opportunities for established investigators and research leaders.
