NIH Loan Repayment Programs
|
The NIH announces the opening of five extramural Loan Repayment Programs. The online applications for these programs are now available and the application closing date for the Clinical, Pediatric, and Contraception and Infertility Research LRP's is November 30, 2002.
* Clinical Research Loan Repayment Program;
* Pediatric Research Loan Repayment Program;
* Health Disparities Research Loan Repayment Program (deadline date to be announced);
* Clinical Research Loan Repayment Program for Individuals from Disadvantaged Backgrounds (deadline date to be announced); and
* Contraception and Infertility Research Loan Repayment Program.
The extramural NIH Loan Repayment programs provide for the repayment up to $35,000 of the principal and interest of qualified educational loans for health professionals who agree to conduct research for two years.
Applicants must commit 50 percent of time, or not less than 20 hours per week, to the research project.
An important change this year is that applications will be accepted to the 2003 Clinical Research and Pediatric Research Loan Repayment Programs from health professionals with research support from a non-profit foundation, non-profit professional association, other
non-profit institution, or U.S. government entity (Federal, state,local). Program eligibility is no longer restricted to NIH grantees.
The NIH Guide announcements for both LRP programs are attached and can be downloaded on the righthand side of this page.
Additional information and the NIH LRP online application are available at the LRP Website at www.lrp.nih.gov.
Applications are due November 30, 2002 at 5 PM Eastern Standard Time.
Questions regarding the NIH Loan Repayment Programs can be directed to the LRP Helpline at 866-849-4047 or [email protected]. |
