Graduate Partnerships Program
Website: https://www.training.nih.gov/programs/gpp
NIH Deadline: varies depending on program; see website
for details
Important
Notes: Full-time
PhD students currently in enrolled in other university programs
may develop an individual agreement with an NIH representative
to do all or part of their dissertation research at NIH. Students
in individual agreements are provided with a stipend and medical
insurance by their NIH mentor. To initiate an individual agreement
see website for details.
Eligibility:
Applicants
must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, have an undergraduate
degree and plan on pursuing a Ph.D. in the biomedical sciences,
and must meet the admission deadlines established by each program.
Students submitting an application may select up to five National
University Partnerships and up to three International University
Partnerships.
Description:
The Graduate
Partnerships Program (GPP) links the National Institutes of Health
(NIH) with universities in the graduate level training of students.
Through university partnerships the NIH strengthens and expands
its role as a provider of excellent training for the biomedical
scientists of the future. Participants are provided with a stipend,
medical insurance, and tuition as appropriate.
Students of
the Partnership Program will do a laboratory rotation at NIH the
summer before they begin classes. They will spend their first
year completing summer courses and doing lab rotations. By the
beginning of the second year students will choose a research mentor.
Participants then develop a project with their mentor from NIH
at their home institution. Partnership students complete the qualifying
exam, dissertation proposals, and dissertation research at their
home university. The partnerships with Oxford and Cambridge Universities,
and the Karolinska Institute are slightly different, following
the European model with few coursework requirements.
