The London Intercollegiate Doctoral Training Partnership (MRC LID) aims to develop a cohort of biomedical and public health scientists with expertise in areas of strategic importance to UK and global medical research by bringing together two outstanding specialist schools: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and St George’s, University of London, with funding from the Medical Research Council.
The MRC LID programme provides a high-quality research environment, an experienced and dedicated pool of supervisors and a suite of face-to-face and online transferable skills training modules.
MRC LID offers research projects across four diverse themes in which we have been at the forefront of innovative research and methodological development: Global Health; Health Data Science; Translational and Implementation Research; and Infectious Disease.
With project topics ranging from malaria to chronic disease and from antimicrobial resistance to vaccine hesitancy, there are over 40 potential projects open for applications as part of the studentship programme. Applications for the studentship projects are now open and will close on 22 January 2025.
