The fair is focused on potential applicants to graduate and professional schools, and networking with representatives from programs across the U.S.

The 2024 NIH Graduate and Professional School Fair will be held in-person on Wednesday, July 17 at the Natcher Conference Center. There will be opportunities to connect with school and program representatives at the exhibitor sessions. Also, hybrid panel sessions will provide recommendations for getting into graduate or professional school. 

The fair is focused on graduate and professional school applications and networking with representatives from programs across the U.S. It also provides an opportunity for NIH summer interns, especially those in college, and postbacs, as well as other college students in the D.C. area to prepare for the next step in their careers by exploring educational programs leading to the Ph.D., M.D., D.D.S., M.D./Ph.D. and other graduate and professional degrees.

More than 250 colleges and universities from across the U.S. send representatives of their graduate, medical and dental schools, schools of public health and other biomedically relevant programs with the aim of recruiting NIH trainees.
