- What do I need to know about the NIH Interview process?
Interviews will also be conducted on April 5th in conjunction with the
PMF Job Fair. NIH will make every
effort to interview as many interested finalists as possible, but
may not be able to accommodate every candidate. We will schedule many
interviews in advance, although a portion of the interview slots will
be held for scheduling at the Job Fair. PMF finalists may request an interview
for an NIH position by emailing their cover letter and resume (not to exceed four
pages) to one of the program managers listed below by March 29th.

After March 29th, interested finalists should plan to bring a
cover letter and resume to the NIH table at the PMF Job Fair on April 5th.
- What should I write on my cover letter?
The cover letter should explain the finalists interest in the
NIH programs and mission, and how the finalists background,
experiences, and skills are well suited for a PMF position and future
career with NIH. Finalists will be contacted by the PMF Coordinator
either to schedule an interview or to request that the candidate come
for an initial meeting at the PMF Job Fair. Requests for interviews
received after March 29th will be held for scheduling at the PMF Job
Fair.
If you have questions about the interview process described here, you may contact one of the Program Managers listed above.
- How do I sign up for an interview at the PMF Job Fair?
NIH will participate in the PMF Job Fair on April 5th with
representatives from the Administrative Training Committee, a number
of Institute representatives, and current and former PMFs. PMF finalists
who want to schedule an interview at the Job Fair are encouraged to
visit the NIH table early in the day and provide a resume and cover
letter at that time.
- I already have a pre-scheduled interview. Do I still need to get
in touch with NIH representatives at the Job Fair?
Yes. Those finalists who have already scheduled an interview MUST
visit the NIH table to confirm the interview date/time and receive
additional information.
- Where can I go for more information about the NIH PMF Program?
Finalists who would like more information about the NIH PMF Program should contact
one of the current NIH PMFs profiled on this web site. To learn more about NIH, we suggest you explore the NIH web site at
http://www.nih.gov.
- Does NIH offer tuition assistance or assistance with moving expenses?
No, not at this time.
