The research training stipends are paid in accordance with the stipend levels set by the National Institutes of Health, as published in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The stipend level for the first year of research training support is determined by the number of years of relevant postdoctoral experience at the time of appointment. Experience gained in clinical practice may also be considered. The stipend level is increased annually in subsequent years of the program, as additional years of relevant experience are gained. Appointments are for 12-month periods, up to a maximum of three years of support.
Renewal is contingent upon satisfactory progress and the availability of funds.
No support is provided for interview or moving expenses. The legislative provisions of the NIH National Research Service Award, which funds the research training program, require recipients of support to pay back the federal government for the initial 12 months of NRSA support for postdoctoral research training. This service must be initiated within two years after termination of NRSA support. If a recipient fails to undertake or perform such service in accordance with this payback requirement, the United States will be entitled to recover financial repayment in an amount determined in accordance with a recovery formula.
