Interns undertake a research project for which they receive academic credit. An ANIP Internship is not work experience or unpaid office support. The major focus is the completion of a research report and formal presentation. Depending on the program, Interns will write a 4,000-20,000 word research report. The size of the research report varies depending on the duration of the placement:
