Participating Laboratories at the National Institutes of Health
Clinical, translational, and basic science research opportunities at the NIH are enormous. There are literally hundreds of laboratories within the National Cancer Institute devoted to basic and applied research in cancer related topics and nearly as many research initiatives in neuroscience, many with relevance to neuro?oncology, within the National Institutes of Neurologic Disorder and Stroke. The trainee will be encourage to spend the first couple of months meeting as many principle investigators as possible and discovering, under the mentorship of his/her research advisor, which research environment and which physician/scientist offers the best potential training experience for the trainees intended career in neuro-oncology. Since research at the NIH is not grant dependent, investigators tend to be open to new initiatives and ideas thereby leading to significant opportunities for designing truly individualized research training programs. |
