Training Programs for Dental Students at the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Medical Research Scholars Program (MRSP) http://www.cc.nih.gov/training/mrsp/index.html began to accept applications for the 2023-2024 MRSP class on October 1, 2022, and the deadline for completed applications is 5pm EST, on January 6, 2023.
The NIH MRSP is a unique, year-long residential research training program which seeks to attract talented, research-oriented dental, medical, and veterinary students to the NIH intramural campus in Bethesda, MD. MRSP is targeted to currently enrolled 2nd, 3rd or 4th students.
MRSP is not simply a research program but rather a career development program for students heading toward careers in biomedical research. It is centered on a robust investigation experience: during the year, students select and engage in a mentored basic, clinical, or translational research project with an experienced research mentor that matches their professional interests, research focus, and career goals. While the focus is on a robust research experience, MRSP also provides students with dedicated curriculum of academic activities featuring lectures by world-renowned scientists, clinical teaching rounds featuring patients from the NIH Clinical Center, a Journal Club addressing major issues in clinical research, as well as workshops in professional development such as work-life balance, CV writing, and interviewing skills.
There is an informational webinar on Thursday, November 10th at 1PM EST. Information about the virtual webinar is in the DC calendar.
