About the PMF Program
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has participated in the PMF program since 1985. We pride ourselves on offering interesting, challenging, and flexible opportunities for all fellows. PMFs, along with their mentors, select rotations that are tailored to meet their individual career development
goals and the agency's long-term succession planning needs. PMFs develop rotational assignments in a broad range of administrative and programmatic areas, including budget and finance, outreach and communications, information technology, grants management, program and management analysis, contracts management, human resources, and general administration.
PMFs are prepared to serve as leaders, often rising to the highest levels of management, and NIH can boast a record of 100% placement of all PMFs who
choose to remain with the agency at the completion of the program.
The PMF program at NIH is unique in offering:
Dedicated Mentors:
Each PMF will work closely with a mentor throughout the two-year
internship. The mentor may provide advice on rotational assignments,
training opportunities, and future career options.
Multiple Rotations:
Rotational assignments may occur throughout NIH, as well as in other
agencies of the Department of Health and Human Services, other executive
branch departments, and Congress.
Comprehensive Training:
Fellows receive a training budget of $2,500 per year to enhance their
administrative and management skills and further their career development.
In addition, PMFs participate in
Georgetown University's Congressional Briefing Conference seminar and USDA Graduate School's Federal Budget Process course.
Professional Development Opportunities:
Each class of NIH PMFs actively organizes and joins both individual and group
professional development activities, including management seminars, brown bag lunches,
and meetings with administrative leaders.
