Relevant experience may include research experience (including industrial), teaching, internship, residency, clinical duties, or other time spent in a health-related field beyond that of the qualifying doctoral degree. Once the appropriate stipend level has been determined, a trainee or fellow must be paid at that level for the entire grant year. The stipend for each additional year of Kirschstein-NRSA support is the next level in the stipend structure and does not change mid-year.</p> <p><strong>Tuition and Fees, Training Related Expenses, and Institutional Allowance for Kirschstein-NRSA Recipients</strong><br> The NIH will provide funds for Tuition and Fees, Training Related Expenses, and Institutional Allowance as detailed below. </p> <p><strong>A. Tuition and Fees</strong></p> <ol> <li>Postdoctoral Trainees and Fellows: For institutional training grants (T32, T90, TL1) and individual fellowships (F32), an amount per postdoctoral trainee or fellow equal to 60% of the level requested by the applicant institution, up to $4,500 per year, will be provided. If the trainee or fellow is enrolled in a program that supports postdoctoral individuals in formal degree-granting training, an amount per postdoctoral trainee or fellow equal to 60% of the level requested by the applicant institution, up to $16,000 per year, will be provided.</li> </ol> <p><strong>B. Training Related Expenses on Institutional Training Grants</strong></p> <ol> <li>For institutional training grants (T32, T35, T90, TL1), these expenses (including health insurance costs) for postdoctoral trainees will be paid at the amounts shown below for all competing and non-competing awards made with FY 2017 funds. </li> <li><em>Postdoctoral Trainees:</em> $8,850</li> </ol> <p><strong>C. Institutional Allowance for Individual Fellows</strong><br> This allowance for postdoctoral fellows will be paid at the amounts shown below for all competing and non-competing awards made with FY 2017 funds.</p> <ol> <li>Institutional Allowance for individual fellows (F32) sponsored by non-Federal Public, Private, and Non-Profit Institutions (Domestic & Foreign, including health insurance):</li> <li><em>Postdoctoral Fellows:</em> $8,850</li> </ol> <ol> <li>Institutional Allowance for individual fellows (F32) sponsored by Federal and For-Profit Institutions (including health insurance): </li> <li><em>Postdoctoral Fellows:</em> $7,750 </li> </ol> <p><strong>Relevant Policies</strong><br> Except for requests to adjust stipend levels consistent with <a href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-17-002.html">NOT-OD-17-002</a>, retroactive adjustments or supplementation of stipends with Kirschstein-NRSA funds for an award made prior to October 1, 2016 are not permitted.</p> <p>Current stipend levels are to be used in the preparation of future competing and non-competing NRSA institutional training grant and individual fellowship applications. They will be administratively applied to all applications currently in the review process.</p> <p>NRSA support is limited to 3 years for postdoctoral trainees or fellows. The NRSA program provides eight levels of postdoctoral stipends to accommodate individuals who complete other forms of health-related training prior to accepting a Kirschstein-NRSA supported position. (The presence of eight discrete levels of experience, however, does not constitute an endorsement of extended periods of postdoctoral research training.)</p> <p class="heading2">Inquiries</p> <p>Please direct all inquiries to: </p> <p>Division of Biomedical Research Workforce<br> Office of Extramural Programs<br> Office of Extramural Research<br> Website: <a href="https://researchtraining.nih.gov/">https://researchtraining.nih.gov</a> <br> Email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#387671706c4a595156785559515416565150165f574e"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="8bc5c2c3dff9eae2e5cbe6eae2e7a5e5e2e3a5ece4fd">[email protected]</span></a></p> <p> </p> <p><br> <br> </p> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-xs-12"> <P> <HR> <A HREF="/grants/guide/WeeklyIndex.cfm?12-16-16">Weekly TOC for this Announcement</A><br> <A HREF="/grants/guide/index.html">NIH Funding Opportunities and Notices</A> <hr> </div> </div> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="css/notices_print.css " /> <div class="row"> <div class="footer"> <div class="col-sm-4"> <a href="/grants/oer.htm"><img src="/images7/nih-oer-logo.jpg" alt="NIH Office of Extramural Research Logo" usemap="#Map2" border="0"></a> <map name="Map2" id="Map2"> <area shape="rect" coords="89,17,359,39" href="http://www.nih.gov" /> <area shape="rect" coords="91,39,286,58" href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/oer.htm" /> <area shape="rect" coords="3,5,78,55" href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/oer.htm" /> </map> </div> <div class="col-sm-4"> <div style="float:left; padding: 5 5 5 70"> <a href="http://www.hhs.gov/"><img src="/images7/dhhs_sm.gif" width="36" height="37" border="0" alt="Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) - Home Page" long desc="Logo, circular in shape, depicting an American eagle in-flight with stylized profiles of human faces appearing on the trailing edge of the wings.
