ERRATUM NATIONAL RESEARCH SERVICE AWARD INSTITUTIONAL TRAINING GRANTS NIH GUIDE, Volume 21, Number 17, May 8, 1992 PA NUMBER: PA-92-31 P.T. 44 Keywords: Biomedical Research Training Alcohol/Alcoholism Drugs/Drug Abuse Emotional/Mental Health Grants Administration/Policy+ Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration On January 17, 1992, the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration (ADAMHA) published the updated National Research Service Awards (NRSA) for Institutional Training Grants Announcement in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts (Vol. 21, No. 2). This program announcement permits, for the first time, the possibility of research recruitment positions on institutional training grants. The purpose of this notice is to clarify the guidance contained in the announcement regarding the use of the recruitment positions (see RESEARCH RECRUITMENT). The positions are subject to the same constraints regarding short-term training positions, and appointments may not exceed three months (PHS Act, Section 487(d)(4). Also, while not immediately subject to the payback requirement because the time spent in such positions will usually total less than 12 months, the time is accrued with any future NRSA support in calculating the total service obligation (see PAYBACK REQUIREMENT and CONDITIONS OF AWARD). The candidates for these positions must, therefore, be advised of the service payback requirement before an appointment to the training grant is offered. This obligation requires that any NRSA support in excess of 12 months is to be repaid by an equal period of health-related research or health-related teaching (see 42 CFR 66.110). These research recruitment candidates, like other trainees appointed to the training grant, must complete and return to the ADAMHA a Statement of Appointment Form (Form PHS 2271, rev. 10/91) and a Payback Agreement Form (Form PHS 6031, rev. 10/91). These forms must be completed and returned at the beginning of each appointment and reappointment. At the end of each appointment, a Termination Notice (Form PHS 416-7, rev. 10/91) must be completed and returned to the ADAMHA. Specific information about the NRSA service payback requirement is available in the Guidelines for NRSA Individual Awards - Institutional Grants, NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts, Vol. 13, No. 1, January 6, 1984.
