Please note this recent announcement from NIH, as received:
Dear Colleague:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is now
accepting online applications for its five Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs).
The five LRPs offered by the NIH include the
Clinical Research LRP, Clinical Research LRP for Individuals from Disadvantaged
Backgrounds, Contraception and Infertility Research LRP, Health Disparities
LRP, and Pediatric Research LRP.
Through these programs, the NIH offers to
repay up to $35,000 annually of the qualified educational debt of health
professionals pursuing careers in biomedical and behavioral research. The
programs also provide coverage for Federal and state tax liabilities.
To qualify, applicants must possess a
doctoral-level degree, devote 50% or more of their time (20 hours per week
based on a 40-hour work week) to research funded by a domestic non-profit
organization or government entity (Federal, state, or local), and have
educational loan debt equal to or exceeding 20% of their institutional base
salary. Applicants must also be U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or U.S.
nationals to be eligible.
Please share this e-mail with the researchers
and other individuals in your organization who may benefit from LRP
participation.
All applications for 2007 awards must
be submitted online by 8:00 p.m. EST, December 1, 2006.
For an online application, program
