Graduate Partnership Program

The GPP helps prepare NIH graduate students to become innovative and creative leaders in the scientific research community.  We provide programs, services, individual assistance, and resources to enhance academic, professional and career development. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the primary source of biomedical research support in the United States.  The NIH conducts cutting edge research and training on its own campuses and fosters research and research training at universities around the U.S.  The mission of NIH covers the full spectrum of science, from discovery of new fundamental knowledge about living systems to applying knowledge to improve health and fight disease.
