Approaching an organisation: Utilising your network, the contacts of your supervisor or staff within other academic areas within Griffith contact an external organisation to pitch a research project idea. If you are having trouble finding a contact, see ‘Assistance Available’ table below for alternative options and help staff contacts to assist you in finding a host organisation/project.

You can find resume examples and other career planning resources which may help with approaching an organisation on the Careers and Employment website.

Project plan: Once you have identified your Host Organisation, and your eligibility to undertake an internship has been confirmed, your supervisor will provide you with the HDR Internship Project Plan template (available to them on the HDR Internship Forms page) which you should develop in conjunction with your Host Organisation.

You and/or your supervisor should liaise with your Academic Group Internships Representative to discuss potential internship opportunities, seek advice, or seek assistance with the above processes:
