DLR maintains the online application system for the LRPs, screens applications for completeness and eligibility, coordinates payments to lenders on behalf of awardees, and conducts communication and outreach activities to raise awareness about the LRPs. Additionally, DLR is responsible for administering payback requirements for the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards (NRSA). </p> <h4 class="text-primary mt-5 mb-3"> Loan Repayment Programs and the Information Center </h4> <p> The main objective of the LRPs is to recruit and retain highly qualified health professionals in research careers. In exchange for a commitment to conduct biomedical or behavioral research, the LRPs will repay up to $50,000 of an LRP awardee's qualified educational debt each year. There are two NIH LRPs, one for researchers outside the NIH (Extramural) and another for NIH employee researchers (Intramural). </p> <p> The LRP Information Center staff is available to answer questions regarding eligibility, provide help with the LRP online application system, and provide general information about the LRPs, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time, excluding Federal holidays.<br /><br /> <strong>Email:</strong> <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#204c5250604e49480e474f56"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="c1adb3b181afa8a9efa6aeb7">[email protected]</span></a><br /><br /> <strong>Phone:</strong> (866) 849-4047 </p> <h4 class="text-primary mt-5 mb-3"> National Research Service Awards Payback Service Center </h4> <p> The Ruth L.
