New Video: "Inside the NINR GPP"
In this new YouTube video, Dawn Betters, PhD, RN, a recent alumna of the NINR Graduate Partnerships Program, discusses how the GPP helped her to advance her nursing research career.
Program Description
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.
Financial Support
NINR will support students for up to 5 years. Trainee support includes:
- a stipend
- tuition allowance
- modest sums for travel, equipment, and supplies
- health insurance
The student’s doctoral program/academic institution may supplement the basic NINR stipend.
Eligibility Criteria
The NINR GPP is open to any doctoral student currently enrolled in a school of nursing.
