NIH postdocs train in groups across all NIH Institutes and Centers (http://irp.nih.gov/ ) and have access to outstanding career and professional development activities through the NIH Office of Intramural Training & Education (OITE; www.training.nih.gov). This year the Conference will be held in conjunction with the NIH Research Festival, which highlights recent significant biomedical advances made at the NIH, and Conference participants will have the opportunity to attend Research Festival Sessions.

To be eligible students must be enrolled in a PhD program in the U.S. and on schedule to complete their PhD degree requirements between March 2013 and October 2014. The deadline for application is June 15, 2013. Further details of the Conference and the link to the online application can be found at:
