Who should apply to the NIH Academy?
First and foremost, those students with an interest in conducting biomedical research and learning about ways to eliminate health disparities should apply for this program. To be eligible, you should (1) have plans to pursue a doctoral degree, (2) be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and (3) be a recent college graduate (meaning that the Academy start date, at the end of August, is less than a year after your graduation from college with your first Bachelor’s degree).
