National Institutes of Health-Oxford-Cambridge Scholars

[Paco Tomei]

The National Institutes of Health-Oxford-Cambridge Scholars Program is
an accelerated, individualized doctoral training program for
outstanding science students committed to biomedical research. It
enables students to undertake a collaborative project in any area of
biomedical investigation involving two mentors--one at the NIH
intramural campus in Bethesda, Maryland and one at either Oxford or
Cambridge University. Students conduct research at both locations and
potentially other sites including field work in Africa and elsewhere
around the world. All students participate in the enriched environment
of the residential colleges of the U.K. Universities and enjoy special
educational opportunities that develop their understanding of disease
outcomes and policy issues related to their studies. The projects
culminate in the award of a D.Phil or Ph.D. in science from either
Oxford or Cambridge. Students may also pursue combined M.D./Ph.D.
training through partnerships the program maintains with a broad range
of American medical schools.
