The Office of Intramural Training & Education (OITE) administers a variety of programs and initiatives to recruit pre-college through post-doctoral educational level individuals into the National Institutes of Health Intramural Research Program (NIH-IRP) to facilitate develop into future biomedical scientists. To identify qualified prospective students, the OITE has developed an application that contains the following target areas of assessment: personal information, eligibility criteria, contact information, student identification number, training program selection, scientific discipline interests, educational history, standardized examination scores, reference information, resume components, employment history, employment interests, dissertation research details, letters of recommendation, financial aid history, sensitive data, future networking contact, travel information, as well as feedback questions about interviews and application submission experiences. NIH investigators directly involved in the evaluation of prospective trainees will use information contained in the application.
The addition of the NIH/OITE program called:NIHVisit Week has increased the burden slightly by 38 hours. This week long program brings undergraduate Native American students to the NIH Bethesda campus to visit with investigators, administrative staff,and trainees,to discuss and learn about research resources and training opportunities that may enhance their career development and solidify research interests.
