Postdoctoral Training at NHLBI
International Fellows
NIH is an especially welcoming place for International Fellows.
There are fellows from over 100 different countries at NIH, so you
are not likely to be isolated. NIH offers free English language
classes for Visiting Fellows whose English needs improvement. In
addition, there are many different organizations on campus that
offer support to International Fellows. Some are for fellows from
a specific country. For example, Fellows from China,
France
or India
have their own web sites. There is a large
Division
of International Services that handles all the details related
to visas for Visiting Fellows. If you would like more information
about Visiting Fellows from your country, contact the NHLBI
Office of Education.
Citizens of France, Germany and Flanders who want to have their own labs in
their home country are encouraged to apply for Career
Transition Awards jointly funded by NIH and either the
Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale, the
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), or the
Research
Foundation – Flanders. These competitive
awards support a Fellow at NIH for a period of 2-3 years, and
provide generous startup funds after return to Europe.
