An exciting paid postbaccalaureate research opportunity at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) that could benefit students and recent graduates within your network.
NIAID is the second largest institute at the NIH with research facilities in Maryland and Montana. For more than 60 years, NIAID has been at the forefront of cutting-edge basic and applied research in infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases. We are pleased to announce that applications for Intramural NIAID Research Opportunities (INRO) 2025 will be accepted September 1 – December 1, 2024! (See flyer attached)
Applicants for INRO are talented graduating seniors (undergraduate or master’s) or those who have recently completed an undergraduate or master’s degree. Through INRO, the NIAID Office of Research Training & Development sponsors postbaccalaureate research trainees (postbacs) from U.S. populations underrepresented in the biomedical sciences and those dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion — as defined by the Notice of NIH’s Interest in Diversity. Individuals from underrepresented populations and/or disadvantaged backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.
Candidates must be actively pursuing a postbac research training position – also called an Intramural Research Training Award – in NIAID at the time of their INRO application.
Those selected for INRO will participate in a two-day event in February 2025 and meet with potential mentors to discuss training opportunities in allergic, immunologic, and infectious disease research. If offered a position in an NIAID laboratory, the trainee will be supported for a paid one-year postbaccalaureate fellowship starting June 9, 2025.
