- No records were kept at the time so no complete list of the program’s Asso
ciates exists except for those assembled in a digitized catalogue available
at the Office of NIH History. The catalogue is based on the (1957-1990)
index cards that Associates submitted when they applied to the program.
Prior to 1957, Associates were hand-picked and submitted no proposal.
- To “add to the preceptor-apprentice relationship complementary means
for a broad-based education in biomedical research, through the provision
of course work and seminars extending into fields other than the Associate’s
primary specialization” (Livingston, NIMH Annual Report, 1959, 29-30).
In the early 1960s, Staff Associates were added to the program in order to
train physicians to become research administrators.
