Clinical Center Welcomes MRSP Scholars
Students from across the country have arrived at NIH to begin their year-long research fellowships as part of the 2025-2026 class of the NIH Medical Research Scholars Program (MRSP). The class comprises 27 medical school participants and four dental school participants representing 29 U.S.-accredited universities.
MRSP is a comprehensive clinician-scientist development program. During the year, scholars will engage in mentored research training tailored to their individual interests and long-term career goals. The immersive experience enables them to pursue research across the full spectrum of scientific disciplines with a focus on advancing public health.
Each scholar is paired with a full-time NIH investigator—whose expertise spans basic, clinical or translational research. Throughout the academic year, MRSP scholars will participate in a seminar series with invited speakers that include institute directors and distinguished senior investigators and engage in clinical teaching rounds. They will present their research to the NIH community and at national professional conferences.
The MRSP is supported by NIH and other partners via contributions to the Foundation for the NIH. Since its inception in 2012, more than 600 students have participated in this program.
