The HHMI-NIH Research Scholars Program
- The HHMI-NIH Research Scholars Program was established in 1985 to give outstanding students at U.S. medical schools the opportunity to receive research training at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.
Students in good standing at U.S. medical and dental schools are eligible to apply to the program. Research Scholars spend nine months to a year on the NIH campus, conducting basic, translational or applied biomedical research under the direct mentorship of senior NIH research scientists.
