NIH Loan Repayment Programs
Apply Now for Up to $35,000 of Annual Educational Debt Repayment
The NIH is accepting applications for its extramural Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs) now through 8:00 p.m. Eastern time on November 15, 2011.
These programs often allow scientific investigators to remain in the research workforce, achieve research independence and focus their efforts on advancing the health of the nation. Opportunities are available in clinical research, pediatric research, health disparities research, contraception and infertility research, and clinical research for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. Each year, some 1,600 research scientists benefit from the more than $70 million NIH invests in their careers through the extramural LRPs.
With the November 15 deadline quickly approaching, health professionals who have started an online application should complete it now. Those who have not yet started should visit http://www.lrp.nih.gov/ to learn more about the programs and apply.
