This program is designed to be a way for new students to connect with current students and ease their transition to graduate student life at the NIH.

Big Sibs are available to provide advice on course work, laboratory advisors, housing, and life in the DC metro area. Your Big Sib will be assigned during the summer prior to starting your graduate program.

If you would like to be a Big Sib or have questions about the program, email Reid Prentice (prentice@nhgri.nih.gov).
