J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez NIH (Bethesda, MD) en avr. 2014
Entretien
Had a personal contact with a Senior Researcher. Contacted them and told them about my interest in CS and research. Came in once for a Personality Quiz type interview where I discussed my past projects and programming knowledge. No technical questions. After a week or so I heard back. Overall a great experience and would recommend it to any students looking for a place to share their enthusiasm for health, research, and technology.

Entretien
I met a representative at a biological conference and asked about positions that were open. I stayed in contact with the representative sending periodic updates. Six months later I applied to the online application and was accepted.
J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez NIH (Bethesda, MD) en févr. 2014
Entretien
Relatively informal - sat down with the postdoc I would be working with and discussed my background, what the current lab projects are, what I would be involved with if I joined, and did a quick tour of the lab facility. It is on you to reach out to prospective labs if you apply to the NIH Summer Research Fellow program and express interest to set up an interview. I live in DC so I was able to do an in person interview, but I know that the postdoc I ended up working with also did phone interviews for later positions she was hiring.
