To meet the demands of 21st century biomedical research, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the University of Pennsylvania have committed to jointly training the next generation of immunologists. With the NIH-Penn Advanced Scholar in Immunology Graduate Partnership Program (ASIGPP), this unique inter-campus collaboration provides access to graduate training for candidates admitted to the University of Pennsylvania Immunology Graduate Group (IGG). Combined with unparalleled access to research resources at both centers, this program features personalized mentorship from scientific leaders from both NIH and the University of Pennsylvania. The partnership between NIH and the University of Pennsylvania offers an integrated network of over 350 immunology laboratories to the University of Pennsylvania immunology graduate students, allowing students to develop a unique research project tailored to their specific interests by selecting either Penn or NIH track for admission.
