Course Description
Individualized opportunities can be arranged in the basic or clinical sciences.  These electives allow students to participate in an ongoing project in one of the research laboratories at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).  Students become involved in translational research protocols.  This "bench to bedside and back" approach enables students to experience the interface between laboratory and clinical research. 

Applicants for other opportunities, if selected, should plan to spend a minimum of eight weeks at the NIH.  Prior to applying, students are advised to review the current research being conducted by accessing the NIH website at http://www.nih.gov/science/index.html#labsandclinics. This will enable candidates for research tutorials to identify a laboratory that is engaged in the research project for which they have an interest.
