Training Opportunities for Students

Graduate Student Partnership Program

The NIH Graduate Partnership Program provides graduate students with the opportunity to conduct all or part of their dissertation research in the resource-rich NIH environment.

Students come to the Urologic Oncology Branch either as part of formal institutional partnerships or via individual agreements negotiated between their university mentor and a UOB investigator.  In all cases, degrees are granted by the university partner.
