NIH Loan Repayment Programs - Apply Now for 2014 Awards

Details: http://www.lrp.nih.gov

The National Institutes of Health’s Loan Repayment Programs (LRP) are accepting applications for 2014 loan repayment awards. The current cycle has been extended through December 2, 2013. Supplemental materials from colleagues and supervisors will be accepted through December 16, 2013.
The LRPs repay the outstanding student loans of researchers who are or will be conducting nonprofit biomedical or behavioral research.    
 
Participants in the NIH Loan Repayment Programs receive up to $35,000 annually to help repay student loans.
 
The application deadline has been extended through December 2, 2013. Supplemental materials from colleagues and supervisors will be accepted through December 16, 2013.

Benefits: New LRP contracts are awarded for a two-year period and repay up to $35,000 of qualified educational debt annually. Tax offsets also are provided as additional benefits. Participants may apply for competitive renewals, which are issued for one or two years. Undergraduate, graduate, medical school, and other health professional school loans qualify for repayment. An NIH grant or other NIH funding is not required to apply for or participate in the LRPs.

Eligibility: Applicants must possess a doctoral-level degree (with the exception of the Contraception and Infertility Research LRP); be a U.S. citizen, national, or permanent resident; devote 20 hours or more per week to conducting qualified research funded by a domestic nonprofit, university, or government entity; and have qualified educational loan debt equal to or exceeding 20 percent of their institutional base salary.

Awards: Each year, nearly 1,600 research scientists benefit from the more than $70 million NIH invests in their careers through the extramural LRPs. Approximately 40 percent of new applications and 70 percent of renewal applications are funded.
