ASRM: NIH Announcements

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is accepting applications for its five Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs) for Fiscal Year 2007. Did you know that the success rate for new applicants was 40% last year and may be even better this year?

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 Research 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 tax liabilities.

To qualify, applicants must possess a doctoral-level degree, devote 50% or more of their time (for an average of 20 hours per week during each contract quarter) 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 information, future application dates or other assistance, visit the LRP Web site at www.lrp.nih.gov, telephone the Help desk at 866-849-4047, or send email inquiries to lrp@nih.gov.
