The Graduate Partnerships Program (GPP) links the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to national and international universities in the training of graduate students.  You get the best of both worlds – the academic environment of a university and the breadth and depth of research at the NIH.  A different kind of graduate experience emerges, one which focuses on training the next generation of scientific leaders by accelerating communication and collaboration skills.  Over 450 graduate students, representing more than 100 universities world-wide, work and study at the NIH. 

The GPP helps prepare NIH graduate students to become innovative and creative leaders in the scientific research community.  We provide programs, services, individual assistance, and resources to enhance academic, professional and career development.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the primary source of biomedical research support in the United States.  The NIH conducts cutting edge research and training on its own campuses and fosters research and research training at universities around the U.S.  The mission of NIH covers the full spectrum of science, from discovery of new fundamental knowledge about living systems to applying knowledge to improve health and fight disease.
