Why consider NIH for graduate studies?
Until recently, few graduate students could take advantage of the incredible research resources of NIH. The Graduate Partnerships Program (GPP) has changed that, enabling PhD students to take advantage of the best of both worlds – the academic environment of highly respected universities and the breadth and depth of research at NIH. But the goal is not to be ‘just another graduate school’. The goal is to create a graduate experience that purposefully focuses on skills of the future scientist who will have to work collaboratively accross different disciplines.
