The NIH Loan Repayment Programs are now accepting applications for the FY 2020 application cycle! As a reminder, the NIH LRPs are a set of programs established by Congress designed to recruit and retain highly qualified health professionals into biomedical or biobehavioral research careers. The NIH LRPs pay up to $50,000 (over a two-year period) of qualified educational debt in return for a commitment to engage in NIH mission-relevant research. More information about eligibility requirements can be found here: https://www.lrp.nih.gov/eligibility-programs. The NIH LRPs are accepting applications from September 1 – November 15.
New updates for this year’s cycle:
- $35,000 maximum award amounts will be raised to $50,000 starting September 1. Which means applicants can receive up to $100,000 in student debt relief.
- Health Disparities Research LRP will now include all NIH institutes and centers. Previously, all HD LRP applications were only reviewed by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities.
Visit www.lrp.nih.gov for more details and to apply. For additional assistance, call or e-mail the LRP Information Center at 866-849-4047 or lrp@nih.gov, Mon-Fri 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST. You can also follow the NIH Division of Loan Repayment on Twitter and Facebook for more information and cycle updates.
