clinical trials and methodological research. Each intern will select a research
project from any of the areas of active research interest of the preceptor and

published (with the intern as a coauthor). In the past, interns have worked on
projects dealing with ordered categorical data, methodologies for prostate
cancer screening trials, improved methods of randomization, and methods to
control selection bias in randomized trials. Other research interests include endpoint
selection (including the validation of surrogate endpoints) and nonparametric
covariate adjustment. In some cases, interns may be able to suggest a suitable
research project on which to work. The hours are flexible to allow the intern
to also work at a paying job, and interns enjoy the benefits of access to the
world-class NIH library. Interns also are free to attend lectures presented by
cutting-edge researchers on and around the NIH campus. The strongest
consideration will go to those candidates who familiarize themselves with at
least some of the aforementioned work and mention this in their cover letter.
The DHHS and NIH are Equal Opportunity Employers. The NIH is unable to pay any
stipend or other type of support, including travel or living costs. The intern
would therefore need to make his or her own arrangements and should consider
this fact when deciding whether to apply.
