National Institutes of Health-University of Cambridge Health Science Research Scholars
PurposeThis relatively new doctoral program at the National Institutes of Health that permits American students to pursue collaborative biomedical research projects between a laboratory at NIH and Cambridge University leading to a Ph.D. from Cambridge. This program has attracted exceptional students from all over the United States. It offers a very unique experience in international collaborative research. Moreover, the Cambridge program allows students to complete a Ph.D. in any area of biomedical research in three or four years. Roughly half of their thesis work is done on the NIH campus in Bethesda Maryland and the other half is done at Cambridge where they are members of colleges and participate fully in university life. The NIH is the largest biomedical research facility world and has trained over 100 Nobel laureates. The NIH-Cambridge program is now six years old with 65 students enrolled. About one third of our students actually come from medical schools. Value of the AwardStudents are fully funded for their tuition, college fees, health insurance, and stipend. They also receive a laptop computer and a generous travel allowance . Finally, financial support has just been approved for students desiring to complete combined M.D./Ph.D. degrees through the program.
