[QUOTE="daisee82, post: 2372490, member: 58764"] I applied through the online website and am an IRTA at the NIH in Bethesda this year and then heading to medical school. It is a great experience and I'm learning so much. For those who want to take more time off, IRTAs can stay for up to 2 years, but not necessarily required to remain in the same lab. I had about half a year's worth of lab experience before this and the PI that hired me into his lab appreciated that, but it's def. not necessary. I'm working in the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases branch (NIAID). I agree with the others who said staying on the main campus in Bethesda is better than other campuses in Rockville/Twinbrook or Frederick. I don't know how competetive it is, but there are TONS of IRTAs here and I got contacted by three PIs before getting this position. Depending on salary, grades, and experience yearly salary differs. IRTAs get paid once a month and for the first year (some IRTAs stay for 2) it's about 1850 a month. And there's def. a possibility of getting published esp. if you start work in the middle of your lab's project so you may actually finish up within the year. Unless you are really picky of which field you'd like to research in, be flexible in your choices on the application so you can hear from PIs of different labs. Best of luck. For those who are applying/have applied here's a link to Club PCR which is a yahoo group spec. for NIHers (there are posts for housing, events, etc...) You'll have to create a yahoo account to join the group but hope it's helpful! [url]http://groups.yahoo.com/group/clubpcr/[/url] [/QUOTE]
