Who pays the student's stipend/tuition? If me, how much is it per year?

STIPEND: Stipend levels are set by NIH and are based on the students level of experience.  The typical range is $30-35K, plus health insurance costs which add another $3500 or so.  I would estimate about $40K although for a students health care, stipend, visa and travel cost per year.

TUITION:  Tuition is paid centrally by the SD..  In some ICs the SD will bill the PI for this cost.

How is the NIH OxCam Program any different than any other PhD program?

The NIH OxCam program is an accelerated PhD program, which allows scholars to complete an individualized, research-based PhD in approximately 4 years, which is significantly less than the average PhD program. The program also has a more student-driven structure with no designated course-work outside of that agreed on by student and mentor. For more information, visit the About section of our page.
