The Award is administered by the Royal College of Physicians for outstanding undergraduate students at selected Medical Schools, who are likely to pursue a medical research career. Nominations were received and assessed by a panel who took into account the calibre of the student and the merit of the proposed project. These awards enable the students to take a one-year academic degree course intercalated to explore research in their field of interest.
