Brown-NIH Graduate Program Partnership
The Brown-NIH Graduate Program Partnership allows participants to take advantage of the best of two worlds - the prestigious academic environment of Brown University and the breadth and depth of research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). At the NIH, graduate students work in a highly research-focused and collaborative environment with leading scientists and clinicians. They also share the NIH campus with the largest translational research hospital in the nation. This atmosphere creates a graduate experience focused on training the next generation of scientific leaders by emphasizing communication, collaboration , integration of information, and interdisciplinary investigation.
About the Program
Students in the Neuroscience Graduate Program Partnership spend their first year on Brown's campus in Providence along , where they engage in coursework and research, build connections across programs, and begin defining their thesis focus.
The NIH offers a rich, collaborative environment for motivated scientists to pursue high-quality research. Its Clinical Center—the world’s largest hospital dedicated to clinical research—provides unique opportunities for neuroscientists to translate discoveries into patient care and study clinical populations.
