Student Opportunities

Registered Students at NIH are offered a wide range of research training programs aimed at enhancing a student’s knowledge and understanding of biomedical research while contributing to the achievement of an individual’s educational goals. Student Opportunities are available through the following four programs:

  • Summer Internship Program (SIP) in Biomedical Research
  • Undergraduate Scholarship Program (UGSP)
  • Other Summer Programs at the NIH
  • Pathways for Students and Recent Graduates

Summer Internship Program (SIP) in Biomedical Research

Administered by OITE

For high school, undergraduate, and graduate students who have expressed a strong interest in or are studying disciplines related to biomedical sciences. Although most of a student’s time is spent in the laboratory, students are invited to participate in numerous special activities offered on the NIH campus. During the summer months the NIH Office of Intramural Training and Education (OITE) organizes special events, such as the Summer Seminar Series, in which leading NIH scientists present the results of their work on the frontiers of biomedical research, and Poster Day, which takes place at the end of the summer and provides students the opportunity to present their research findings to the NIH scientific community. Students are required to take the Laboratory Safety course, and the Radiation Safety course, if working with radioactive materials). For information regarding the policies and procedures for applying to the SIP, please visit the OITE Summer Internship Program in Biomedical Research page.

Undergraduate Scholarship Program (UGSP)

Administered by OITE

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Undergraduate Scholarship Program (UGSP) offers competitive scholarships to students from disadvantaged backgrounds who are committed to careers in biomedical, behavioral, and social science health-related research. The program offers:

  • Scholarship support
  • Paid research training at the NIH during the summer
  • Paid employment and training at the NIH after graduation

For information regarding the policies and procedures for applying to the UGSP, please visit the OITE Undergraduate Scholarship Program page.

Other Summer Programs at the NIH

Administered by OITE and specified ICs

For more information on other summer programs that are offered through OITE or various ICs, as well as application details, please visit the OITE Other Summer Programs at the NIH pages.

Pathways for Students and Recent Graduates

Administered by NIH OHR, Client Services Division, Global Recruitment Unit

  • NIH Internship Program is for current students in an accredited high school, college (including 4-year colleges/universities, community colleges, and junior colleges); professional, technical, vocational, and trade school; advanced degree programs; or other qualifying educational institution pursuing a qualifying degree or certificate. For more information, please visit the Jobs@NIH Internship Program page.
  • NIH Recent Graduates Program is for recent graduates who have completed, within the previous two years, a qualifying associates, bachelors, masters, professional, doctorate, vocational or technical degree or certificate from a qualifying educational institution. For more information, please visit the Jobs@NIH Recent Graduates page.
  • NIH Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program is for individuals who have completed a Masters or other professional degree within the last two years. Candidates are assessed by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and apply to work at NIH after they are named a PMF Finalist. For more information, please visit the NIH Office of Human Resources PMF page.

The Pathways for Students and Recent Graduates programs are generally used for administrative positions, but can be used for scientific positions, as needed.

Most Student Opportunities are non-Full-Time Equivalent Employment (FTE) positions, however the Undergraduate Scholarship Program scholars are appointed as Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) positions.

Ethics

Intramural scientists at the NIH, as is true for all scientists, should be committed to the responsible use of scientific tools and methods to seek new knowledge. While the general principles of scientific methodologies are universal, their detailed application may differ in various scientific disciplines and circumstances. All research staff in the Intramural Research Program should maintain exemplary standards of intellectual honesty in formulating, conducting, presenting, and reviewing research, as befits the leadership role of the NIH.

Within the NIH IRP, the ethical conduct of researchers is governed by the following three disciplines:

  • Research Ethics
  • Government Ethics
  • Bioethics

Ethics information may also be available through your specific IC. Please contact your Ethics Counselor for additional guidance.
