About the programme
This panel assesses whether your biomedical question is important, feasible and suited to doctoral study. The panel will test how you move from a biological claim to a defensible experiment, handle uncertainty and protect research participants or laboratory staff. It also looks for evidence that you can work independently while using supervision well.
How to prepare
- Reduce your proposed project to a clear question, hypothesis and expected contribution.
- Review the main methods in your proposal and be ready to justify controls, sample choices and outcome measures.
- Identify technical risks, alternative explanations and a feasible fallback approach.
- Refresh the literature most relevant to your proposed mechanism or disease area.
- Prepare examples of careful laboratory work, research setbacks and responsible decisions.
- Check the programme's official guidance for current application and research ethics requirements.
Common mistakes
- Describing a broad disease area without a testable research question.
- Listing laboratory techniques without explaining why each one answers the question.
- Treating an unexpected result as failure rather than evidence to investigate.
- Ignoring reproducibility, safety or ethical approval when discussing feasibility.
