NIH Eligibility Criteria
 
Trainee Citizenship
At the time of appointment to the training program, individuals financially supported by the training program must be citizens or non-citizen nationals of the United States, or have been lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence and have in their possession an Alien Registration Receipt Card (I-151 or I-551) or other legal verification of admission for permanent residence. Non-citizen nationals are persons born in lands that are not States but are under U.S. sovereignty, jurisdiction, or administration (e.g., American Samoa). Individuals on temporary or student visas are not eligible for NRSA support. In addition, trainees must be able to commit full-time effort in the program at the time of appointment. Foreign trainees, while they can be affiliated with the training program, ie., take part in all program activities, may not be financially supported by the training program.

Pre-doctoral Trainees
Pre-doctoral trainees must have received a baccalaureate degree by the beginning date of their NRSA research training appointment, must be training at a post-baccalaureate level, and be enrolled in a research doctoral degree program leading to the Ph.D. (or equivalent) degree.

Selection of Pre-doctoral TraineesStudents will apply first to the Specialization during the Spring of the first year. A careful review by the Steering Committee will be based on the student's academic record and background, his or her research interests in relation to multi-scale biology and the expertise of the program faculty, the participation of one or both research co-mentors in the program, the recommendation of the co-mentors, the synergy between the planned program of laboratory course study and the research interests of the student. Since an essential feature of the program is to create an interdisciplinary learning environment, a substantial effort will be made to maintaining balanced representation across the specialization from all five graduate programs, and consideration will also be given to space limits within laboratory courses.
