The NBBTP is a partnership between the Division of Occupational Health and Safety (DOHS) and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at the NIH. This is a rare opportunity for individuals seeking work in high containment facilities to receive professional training in biosafety and biocontainment at one of the foremost biomedical research centers in the world. NBBTP Fellowships are available only to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or Nationals of the United States with a minimum of a masters degree in the life sciences or related fields and meet all federal regulations and policies necessary for working with select agents.

The NBBTP Fellowship is designed specifically for people seeking biosafety careers in high-containment. This is an intensive two-year, immersive experience and includes traditional lectures, reading assignments, mentoring projects and travel to off-site conferences and training sessions.  View eligibility requirements and additional information at www.NBBTP.org
