The NIH Medical Research Scholars Program (MRSP) is a premier, year-long research training program which seeks to attract talented, research-oriented medical, dental, and veterinary students to the NIH intramural campus in Bethesda, Maryland, and its satellite campuses. Centered on a robust investigation experience through a basic, clinical, or translational research project with an experienced mentor that matches their professional interests, the NIH MRSP also provides students with a dedicated curriculum of academic activities featuring world-renowned clinician-scientists, networking opportunities, and professional development workshops.

Over 600 alumni strong, the NIH MRSP has a proven history of helping launch the next generation of biomedical researchers into highly successful, impactful careers. The (Future) Doctor Is In | NIH Intramural Research Program offers a glimpse into how this career development program has benefited some of our recent students.
