Yes. If allowed by your Ph.D. program, you may be able to do all or part of your Ph.D. research in an NIH lab, and obtain your Ph.D. from the University affiliated with your Medical School. You can also apply for one of the formal NIH GPP programs with the Ph.D. obtained from elsewhere. However, these options must be discussed with your MD/PhD program advisors ahead of time and written permission to apply for either of these options must be obtained from the director of your MD/PhD program.
