Melanin Medics Research Network is excited to announce a fantastic research opportunity titled: Factors influencing Research Engagement and attainment among Medical students in the United Kingdom (REMED-UK). REMED-UK study is a prospective, national, multi-centre study that will utilise an online questionnaire.

The aims of the study are:
i. To investigate factors that may affect medical students’ participation and attainment in research in the UK
ii. To understand perceptions of research, motivation for, and the barriers to research engagement and attainment amongst medical students in the UK.
iii. To produce evidence-based reports that will guide UK medical schools and relevant organisations in developing resources and programmes that will increase the number of future academic clinicians and resolve inequalities in research opportunities and attainments amongst future clinicians.


We are currently recruiting medical students across UK medical schools as regional leads for the study. Regional leads are required to disseminate the online questionnaire amongst their peers, from March to May 2021. To qualify as a PubMed Indexed Collaborator, your role as a regional lead will be to recruit a minimum of 30 medical students survey respondents from your medical school. We will invite the top overall recruiters onto the main authorship line.

If you are an enthusiastic and hardworking medical student from any UK medical school and you are willing to work with us on this high-quality research project, please complete and submit this form. PLEASE NOTE: This opportunity is open to all UK medical students regardless of their background or ethnicity.
