Biophysics Fellows Research Conference at the NIH
The Biophysics Fellows Research Conference at the NIH (BFRC-NIH) will be held at the NIH Bethesda Campus on August 28 and 29, 2025.
The BFRC-NIH provides 25 predoctoral candidates and postdoctoral biophysics researchers—from the U.S. and abroad who are not already members of an Intramural fellowship program at NIH—the opportunity to explore the rich environment, unique resources, and research opportunities offered by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), and National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). Conference participants will have the opportunity to exchange scientific research ideas, experiences, and resources through a combination of Three-Minute-Talks (a clear and compelling research story delivered in just 3 minutes), seminars, and networking and poster presentations sessions with the NIH intramural community of early career biophysicists and principal investigators.
Questions?
Federal Background Check
To be approved for access to NIH facilities and systems, candidates must be able to pass a federal background check, using Standard Form-85 (read SF-85 (PDF, 204 KB) ). NOTE: Section 14 of the form asks, “In the last year, have you used, possessed, supplied, or manufactured illegal drugs?” The question pertains to the illegal use of drugs or controlled substances in accordance with Federal laws, even though potentially permissible under state laws.
