Successful biomedical research relies upon the knowledge, training and dedication of those who conduct it. Bringing multiple disciplines to bear on health challenges requires innovation and collaboration on the part of scientists.

Foundation for NIH partnerships operate in a variety of ways and formats to recruit, train, empower and retain our next generation of researchers. From lectures and multi-week courses, to scholarships and awards through fellowships and residential training programs, our programs respond to the needs of scientists at every level and stage in their careers.

Clinical Research Training Program

Established in 1997, the Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP) is one of the Foundation for NIH’s premier public-private partnerships.

Fellowships, Scholarships & Courses

The foundation works with donors to establish and support awards, lectures, travel funds, fellowships, scholarships, internships, and training projects that offer high school, undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers the opportunity to study and conduct research at the world's foremost biomedical research institution, NIH.Some of the programs support training and education across the United States and around the world.

Lectures & Awards

As the premier biomedical research facility in the country, the National Institutes of Health is host to many of the world’s most distinguished scientific researchers. The foundation, through funding from private partners, makes it possible to showcase and recognize the work of these pioneers. By shining a spotlight on their efforts, awards and lectures encourage others to build on these achievements.
