How to access the Research and Training Opportunities (RTO) database for summer intern and postbac candidates

Research and Training Opportunities (RTO) database

Search the database for postbac and summer applicants.

How to request access

Access to the RTO application system is limited to NIH investigators and staff who have accounts.

To request permission to the OITE application database, contact your IC program coordinator. Your login credentials for the OITE application database are your NIH network login credentials.

Terms of use

You must agree to the RTO Applicant System ‘terms of use’ every time you use the system to search for applicants. These terms of use explicitly state that accessing the application of a friend, relative, or child of a friend for any reason represents unauthorized use of the system. Additionally, advocating on behalf of a relative violates the terms of use and cannot be tolerated. Such actions are a clear violation of the NIH Policy on Nepotism.
