Funds characterized as compensation may be paid to fellows when there is an employer-employee relationship, the payments are for services rendered, and the situation otherwise meets the conditions of the compensation of students as detailed in the PHS Grants Policy Statement . Under these conditions fellows may be compensated for actual employment on Federal grants, including PHS research grants. Compensation may not be paid from a research grant that supports the same research that is part of the fellow's planned training experience as approved in the fellowship application. Fellowship sponsors must approve all instances of employment on research grants in order to verify that the circumstances will not detract from or prolong the approved training program. Under no circumstances may the conditions of stipend supplementation or the services provided for compensation interfere with, detract from, or prolong the fellow's approved NRSA training program.
Priority is given to trainees presenting at the meeting.
In 1992, the National Institutes of Health mandated the development and implementation of an ethics and integrity element in NIH-funded training programs. To order to comply with this requirement, the University of Washington's Scientific Affairs Faculty Council developed a Biomedical Research Integrity summer lecture series. Trainees are strongly encouraged to participate in this program and are required to attend at least one lecture in the series. Information about this lecture series will be distributed in June. Also include the title of any Biomedical Research Integrity lectures that you attended and a summary of outside work including principal investigator, name of project, duration of support and hours per week worked.
