National Institute of Nursing Research

From their website: "The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) Graduate Partnerships Program (GPP) is a doctoral fellowship training program that coordinates training and funding for doctoral students attending a school of nursing. The program combines the academic environment of a university and the breadth and depth of research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The goal of the program is to encourage and support the training of nursing doctoral students who are motivated to undertake careers in basic or clinical research.

"As part of a coordinated plan of graduate education, students will complete the majority of required coursework at the academic institution in which they are enrolled. Dissertation research will be conducted within the Intramural Research Program (IRP) of the NIH in Bethesda, Maryland. Both an academic advisor and NIH scientist will serve as co-mentors for the dissertation process. All of the academic institution requirements for the doctoral degree must be fulfilled. Students will receive their doctoral degree from the academic institution in which they are enrolled."

The application for the 2012 NINR Graduate Partnerships Program opens on September 17, 2012.
