The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Visiting Program provides opportunities for foreign scientists to train and conduct collaborative research at the NIH, the principal agency of the U.S. Government responsible for conducting and supporting biomedical research. Annually, more than 2,000 scientists from other nations conduct research in the basic and clinical science laboratories on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland, and in several field units around the country. The NIH is composed of 27 different Institutes and Centers. Working within and through these organizations, scientists investigate many aspects of basic biomedical sciences as well as specific diseases. These range from heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes to influenza, tooth decay, arthritis, AIDS and other disorders that affect millions of people. Visiting Fellow awards generally are made for two years, although a minimum one-year award is an option. Fellowships are renewable in one or two-year increments up to five years.
Stipend: The stipend level is determined by the number of years of relevant postdoctoral research experience.
Postdoctoral Visiting Fellows – Candidates must have a doctoral degree or equivalent in the biomedical sciences and five years or fewer of relevant postdoctoral research experience at the start of the fellowship period. A full description of the Visiting Fellow program, including eligibility requirements, can be found at the NIH policy manual for the Intramural Visiting Fellow Program (VFP).
