The NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs) are a set of programs established by Congress that are designed to assist health professionals who have doctoral-level degrees and are conducting biomedical or behavioral research with repaying their educational debt.
The Institute of Clinical and Translational Science (ICTS) has coordinated an information session led by Dr. Connie Rhee, intended for post-doctoral fellows and junior faculty preparing to submit applications for the NIH Loan Repayment Program. This program is developed for Health professionals who have doctoral-level degrees and are conducting biomedical or behavioral research funded by domestic nonprofit or government organizations. Applicants may be eligible for up to $50,000 of NIH loan repayment per year to repay educational debt.
