About this scholarship
A year-long, in-person research immersion at the US National Institutes of Health for medical, dental and veterinary students, combining mentored research with training in clinical and translational science.
Minimum requirements
US citizen or permanent resident in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th year of an accredited medical, dental or veterinary programme
Application checklist
- Online MRSP application (open 1 September 2026 to 1 December 2026)
- Evidence of enrolment in year 2, 3 or 4 of an accredited medical, dental or veterinary programme
- Evidence of US citizenship or permanent residency
- Check official page for references, transcripts and research-interest requirements
Application tips
- Use the official NIH date, 1 December 2026: a secondary university page says 2 December, but the NIH date governs.
- This is a full-time, in-person year at NIH — plan to pause your degree programme for 10.5 to 12 months.
- Apply in year 2, 3 or 4 only; final-year students past that window are outside the stated eligibility.
- The stipend structure was not stated on the page checked, so confirm support terms on the official page before relying on them.
Always verify deadline, amount and eligibility on the official page before applying. Values marked ESTIMATE are based on a previous cycle and are not confirmed for the current round.
