Introducing two groundbreaking new doctoral programs in biomedical research, the Oxford University-National Institutes of Health (NIH) Scholars in Biomedical Research and the Cambridge University-NIH Health Sciences Research Scholars. These programs are built on a unique arrangement in which students spend approximately two years at either Oxford or Cambridge and two years at the NIH working on a collaborative research project. Oxford and Cambridge have for centuries been two of the most prominent universities internationally and the NIH is the largest biomedical research facility in the world with most of its activities located in Bethesda, MD, a suburb of Washington, D.C.
All students are FULLY FUNDED by the NIH for the duration of their doctoral work and receive a stipend. We now also offer support for combined M.D./PhD training in which the PhD is obtained at Oxford or Cambridge and the M.D. is obtained from one of the 41 top American medical schools that have Medical Scientist Training Programs. The application (due January 1) is available online and easy to complete. There is no application fee and the application can be found at: http://oxcam.gpp.nih.gov/index.asp.
