Dear Medical School Faculty and Students,



The National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, the world’s largest research hospital, continues the proud tradition of training the next generation of clinician-scientists.  The NIH Medical Research Scholarship Program (MRSP) is a year-long residential professional development program for research-oriented medical, dental, and veterinary students at the NIH intramural campus in Bethesda, MD, as well as its satellite campuses.



The MRSP offers a robust investigational experience through a basic, clinical, or translational research project with an experienced mentor that matches their professional interests.  Focused on helping develop a career in biomedical research, the MRSP year provides students with a dedicated advisor and a vast curriculum of academic activities featuring world-renowned clinician-scientists, networking opportunities, and professional development workshops.  The NIH MRSP has a proven history of launching the next generation of clinician-scientists into highly successful, impactful careers.



The online application for the 2027-2028 academic year opened on SEPTEMBER 1st, 2026.
