- advocating on behalf of NIH graduate students and working with OITE to address issues uniquely impacting the graduate student community
- organizing educational programs and social activities connecting students across all NIH Institutes
- working to increase the visibility of NIH graduate students within the Intramural Research Program
All graduate students in individual and institutional partnerships are welcome to join the GSC!
