PURPOSE
Introduction
This is an updated and expanded program announcement for the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), National Research Service Award,
Individual Postdoctoral Fellowship. It applies to all NIH funding
Institutes and Centers, including the National Institute on Alcohol
Abuse and Alcoholism, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the
National Institute of Mental Health. A complete list of NIH
institutes and centers (hereafter referred to as Institutes) can be
found under INQUIRIES.
The main changes in this program announcement are the new application
receipt and review dates, effective April 1, 1993, the revised
payback provisions, effective June 10, 1993, and the revised stipend
levels, effective with Fiscal Year 1994 awards.
The Congress of the United States established the National Research
Service Award (NRSA) Program in 1974 to help ensure that highly
trained scientists are available in adequate numbers and in
appropriate research areas to carry out the Nation's biomedical and
behavioral research agenda. Under this congressional authority, NIH
awards NRSA individual postdoctoral fellowships (F32s) to qualified
applicants, selected as a result of a national competition, to
support full-time research training related to the missions of its
constituent Institutes.
o The criteria for evaluating applications focus on the candidate,
the research training project, and the training resources and
environment, including the sponsor.
o Awards provide a stipend plus a small allowance to defray some
training expenses.
o The initial 12 months of NRSA postdoctoral support carries a
service payback requirement, which can be fulfilled by continued
training under the award or by engaging in other health-related
research training, health-related research, or health-related
teaching.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Citizenship. At time of application, individuals must be citizens
or noncitizen nationals of the United States, or have been lawfully
admitted to the United States for permanent residence (i.e., in
possession of a currently valid Alien Registration Receipt Card I-
551, or other legal verification of such status). Noncitizen
nationals are generally persons born in outlying possessions of the
United States (i.e., American Samoa and Swains Island). Individuals
on temporary or student visas are not eligible.
Degree Requirements. As of the activation date of the NRSA award,
individuals must have received a Ph.D., M.D., D.O., D.D.S., D.V.M.,
O.D., D.P.M., Sc.D., Eng.D., Dr.P.H., D.N.S., Pharm.D., D.S.W.,
Psy.D., or equivalent doctoral degree from an accredited domestic or
foreign institution. Certification by an authorized official of the
degree-granting institution that all degree requirements have been
met is also acceptable.
Sponsorship. Before submitting a fellowship application, the
applicant must arrange for appointment to an appropriate institution
and acceptance by a sponsor who will supervise the training and
research experience. The institution may be private (nonprofit or
for-profit) or public, including a Federal laboratory.
Applicants requesting foreign training must show in the application
that the foreign institution and sponsor offer special opportunities
that are not currently available in the United States. Only in cases
where there are clear scientific advantages will foreign training be
supported. Applicants proposing training at their doctorate
institution or at the institution where they have been training for
more than a year must document thoroughly the opportunity for new
training experiences that would broaden their scientific background.
The applicant's sponsor should be a competent, active investigator in
the area of the proposed research, who will personally supervise the
candidate's research. The sponsor must document, in the application,
the availability of staff, research support, and facilities to
provide a suitable environment for performing high-quality research
training.
MECHANISMS OF SUPPORT
Period of Support. Individuals may receive up to three years of
aggregate NRSA support at the postdoctoral level, including any
combination of support from institutional training grants and
individual fellowship awards. Exceptions to the three-year limit
require a waiver from the NIH. Individuals interested in a waiver
should consult with staff of the relevant NIH Institute.
Characteristics of Programs
The proposed NRSA training must encompass biomedical or behavioral
research and offer an opportunity for individuals to broaden their
scientific background or to extend their potential for research in
health-related areas. For those who have attained a health
professional degree, the proposed training may be a part of a
research degree program.
Individuals are required to pursue their research training on a full-
time basis, devoting at least 40 hours per week to the training
program. Research clinicians must devote full-time to their proposed
research training and must confine clinical duties within their full-
time training to those that are part of the research training
experience.
The Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
is required by law, in taking into account the Nation's overall needs
for biomedical personnel, to give special consideration to physicians
who agree to undertake a minimum of two years of biomedical or
behavioral research. The NIH recognizes the critical importance of
training clinicians to become researchers and encourages them to
apply. Women, minorities, and individuals with disabilities are also
encouraged to apply.
An NRSA may not be used to support studies leading to the M.D., D.O.,
D.D.S., D.V.M., or other similar health-professional degrees.
Neither may these awards be used to support the clinical years of
residency training.
Payback
The NIH Revitalization Act of 1993 substantially modified the service
payback requirements for individuals supported by the NRSA program.
For fellowship awards beginning on or after June 10, 1993, only
fellows in the first 12 months of postdoctoral NRSA support will
incur a service obligation of one month for each month of support.
Postdoctoral fellows in the 13th and subsequent months of NRSA
support will incur no further obligation, and such support will be
considered acceptable postdoctoral payback service. Thus,
individuals who begin their initial NRSA postdoctoral fellowship on
or after June 10, 1993 and continue under that award for two years
would have paid off their first year obligation by the end of the
second year.
Postdoctoral fellows accepting an award covering their first 12
months of NRSA postdoctoral support must sign a payback agreement to
engage in health-related research training, health-related research,
or health-related teaching for a period equal to their initial 12
months of NRSA postdoctoral support.
Those who do not pay back their obligation through continued NRSA
training or other full-time health-related research training may
satisfy their obligation by serving in a full-time position in which
health-related research and/or teaching constitute the primary
activity or, if not serving in a full-time position of this kind,
engaging in such research or teaching in a position(s) for periods
that average more than 20 hours per week of a full work year.
Full-time academic appointments in a biomedical or behavioral field
normally meet the payback requirement. Payback service may also be
conducted in a governmental, commercial, or other nonacademic
environment, and in the United States or in a foreign country.
Examples of acceptable payback service include research
associateships/assistantships, postdoctoral research fellowships, and
college or high school science teachers. Examples of unacceptable
payback service include clinical practice and administrative
responsibilities not directly related to scientific research.
Payback service positions are arranged by the individual, not by the
NIH. The funding NIH Institute will review and approve the activity
at the end of the year in which it occurs. Service to satisfy any
outstanding obligation must be initiated within two years after
termination of NRSA support, and must be performed on a continuous
basis. For individuals who fail to fulfill their service
obligation, the United States is entitled to recover the total amount
of NRSA funds paid to the individual for the obligated period plus
interest at a rate determined by the Secretary of the Treasury.
Financial payback must be completed within 3 years, beginning on the
date the United States becomes entitled to recover such amount.
Under certain conditions, the Secretary of DHHS may extend the period
for starting service, permit breaks in service, extend the period of
repayment, or otherwise waive, in whole or in part, the payback
obligation of an individual. Questions on payback should be directed
to the appropriate Institute contact.
Stipends
NRSAs provide stipends to postdoctoral researchers as a subsistence
allowance to help defray living expenses during the research training
experience. The awards are not provided as a condition of employment
with either the Federal Government or the sponsoring institution.
The stipend level for the first year of NRSA support is determined by
the number of years of relevant postdoctoral experience at the time
the award is issued. Relevant experience may include research
experience (including research in industry), teaching, internship,
residency, clinical duties, or other time spent in full-time studies
in a health-related field beyond that of the qualifying doctoral
degree. Current postdoctoral stipends, effective with Fiscal Year
1994 awards, are as follows:
Full Years of Relevant Experience Annual Amount
Less than 1 $ 19,608
1 20,700
2 25,600
3 26,900
4 28,200
5 29,500
6 30,800
7 or more 32,300
The stipend for each subsequent year of NRSA support is the next
level in the stipend structure and begins on the anniversary date of
the original activation. No departure from the standard stipend
schedule may be negotiated between the institution and the fellow.
For fellows sponsored by domestic non-Federal institutions, the
stipend will be paid through the sponsoring institution. For fellows
sponsored by Federal or foreign institutions, the monthly stipend
payment will be direct deposited in the fellow's U.S. bank account or
paid directly to the fellow by U.S. Treasury check.
An institution is allowed to provide funds to a fellow in addition to
the stipend paid by the NIH. Such additional amounts may be in the
form of augmented stipends (supplementation) or compensation for
services.
Stipend Supplementation. Supplementation, when provided, must not
obligate the fellow in any way. Additionally, no Federal funds may
be used for supplementation unless specifically authorized under the
terms of both the program from which such supplemental funds are to
be received and the program whose funds are to be supplemented.
Under no circumstances may Public Health Service (PHS) grant funds be
used for supplementation.
Compensation. An institution may provide additional funds to a
fellow in the form of compensation (as salary and/or tuition
remission) for services, such as teaching or serving as a laboratory
assistant. Compensation for services is not considered stipend
supplementation. A fellow may receive compensation for services as a
research assistant or some other position on a Federal research
grant, including a PHS research grant. However, it is expected that
compensated services will occur on a limited, part-time basis apart
from the normal training activities, which require a minimum of 40
hours per week, and compensation may not be paid from a research
grant that supports the same research that is part of the F32
training experience.
Under no circumstances may the conditions of stipend supplementation
or the services provided for compensation interfere with, detract
from, or prolong the fellow's approved NRSA training program.
Educational Loans or G.I. Bill. An individual may make use of
Federal educational loan funds and assistance under the Veterans
Readjustment Benefits Act (G.I. Bill). Such funds are not considered
supplementation or compensation.
Concurrent Awards. An NRSA may not be held concurrently with another
federally sponsored fellowship or similar award that provides a
stipend or otherwise duplicates provisions of the NRSA. However, an
individual may accept concurrent educational benefits from the
Department of Veteran's Affairs (e.g., G.I. Bill) and from Federal
loan funds.
Tax Liability
Section 117 of the Internal Revenue Code applies to the tax treatment
of all scholarships and fellowships. Under that section, non-degree
candidates are required to report, as gross income, all stipends and
any monies paid on their behalf for course tuition and fees required
for attendance. Degree candidates may exclude from gross income
reported for tax purposes any amount used for tuition and related
expenses, such as fees, books, supplies, and equipment required for
courses of instruction at a qualified educational organization.
The taxability of stipends, however, in no way alters the
relationship between NRSA fellows and institutions. NRSA stipends
are not considered salaries. NRSA fellows are not considered to be
in an employee-employer relationship with the NIH or the institution
in which they are pursing research training.
The interpretation and implementation of the tax laws are the domain
of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the courts. The NIH takes
no position on what the status may be for a particular taxpayer, and
it does not have the authority to dispense tax advice. Individuals
should consult their local IRS office about the applicability of the
law to their situations and for information on the proper steps to be
taken regarding their tax obligations.
The business office of the sponsoring institution is responsible for
the annual preparation and issuance of the IRS form 1099 (Statement
of Miscellaneous Income) for fellows paid through the institution
(fellows training at domestic non-Federal institutions). The NIH
will issue the form for all fellows paid directly by them (fellows
training at Federal or foreign laboratories).
Other Training Costs
NIH will provide an institutional allowance of $3,000 per 12-month
period to non-Federal, nonprofit sponsoring institutions to help
defray such awardee expenses as tuition and fees, self-only health
insurance, research supplies, equipment, travel to scientific
meetings, and related items. This allowance is intended to cover
training-related expenses for the individual awardee. The allowance
is not available until the fellow officially activates the award. If
an individual fellow is not enrolled or engaged in training for more
than 6 months of the award year, only one-half of that year's
allowance may be charged to the grant. The Notice of Research
Fellowship award will be revised and the balance must be refunded to
the NIH.
The NIH will provide up to $2,000 for fellows sponsored by Federal
laboratories or for-profit institutions for the following specified
expenses for the fellow: scientific meeting travel expenses, self-
only health insurance, tuition and fees, and books. For fellows at
for-profit institutions, the $2,000 will be paid to the institution
for disbursement to the fellow. Funds for fellows at Federal
laboratories will be disbursed from the NIH awarding Institute.
Additional funds may be requested by the institution if the training
of a fellow involves extraordinary costs for (1) travel to field
sites remote from the sponsoring institution or (2) accommodations
for fellows who are disabled, as defined by the Americans With
Disabilities Act. The funds requested for extraordinary cost must be
reasonable in relationship to the total dollars awarded under an F32
and must be directly related to the approved research training
project. Such additional funds shall be provided only in exceptional
circumstances that are fully justified and explained by the
institution.
Travel Expenses. Awards for training at a foreign site include a
single economy or coach round-trip travel fare. No allowance is
provided for dependents. U.S. flag air carriers must be used to the
maximum extent possible when commercial air transportation is the
means of travel between the United States and a foreign country or
between foreign countries.
Funds are not provided to cover the cost of travel between the
fellow's place of residence and a domestic training institution.
However, in cases of extreme need or hardship, a one-way travel
allowance may be authorized by the sponsoring institution. Such
travel must be paid from the institutional allowance.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Individuals must submit the Application for Public Health Service
Individual National Research Service Award (PHS 416-1, rev. 10/91),
including with the application at least three letters of reference.
If the applicant has been lawfully admitted to the United States for
permanent residence, a notarized statement documenting this status
must be submitted with the application.
Applicants and sponsoring institutions must comply with policies and
procedures governing the protection of human subjects, the humane
care and use of live vertebrate animals, and the inclusion of women
and minorities in study populations.
Applicants should indicate in Item 3 (Program Announcement or Request
for Applications) on the face page of the application the initials of
the NIH Institute (e.g., NIA, NIGMS) most appropriate to the research
area of the application. The list of Institutes under INQUIRIES at
the end of this announcement will be helpful in selecting the
appropriate initials. If the application is submitted in response to
a published specific Program Announcement (PA) or Request for
Applications (RFA) from a particular NIH Institute, the applicant
should identify the number of the PA or RFA in Item 3. This
information will be used as a guide in the assignment process.
Application kits and the brochure Helpful Hints on Preparing a
Fellowship Application to the National Institutes of Health are
available by writing the Grants Information Office, Division of
Research Grants, National Institutes of Health, Westwood Building,
Room 449, Bethesda, Maryland 20892, or by calling (301) 710-0267. A
self-addressed mailing label will expedite written requests.
Concurrent Applications. An individual may not have more than one
competing NRSA individual fellowship application pending concurrently
with the NIH or the PHS.
Application Receipt and Review Schedule
F32 applications undergo an expedited review that takes approximately
5 months. The three annual review cycles are as follows:
Application Receipt Dates: Aug 5 Dec 5 Apr 5
Initial Review Dates: Oct/Nov Feb/Mar Jun/Jul
Secondary Review Dates: Dec/Jan Apr/May Aug/Sep
Earliest Possible Start Dates: Jan 1 May 1 Sep 1
REVIEW CONSIDERATIONS
Applications receive two sequential levels of review. Initial review
groups (IRGs), composed primarily of nongovernment scientists
selected for their competence in particular scientific areas,
evaluate applications for merit. The Scientific Review Administrator
(SRA), a designated Federal official, coordinates the review of
applications for each IRG.
After the initial review meeting, the SRA prepares a written summary
of the review of each application and forwards it to the appropriate
NIH Institute. There, a second level of review is provided by a
committee of Institute staff members and a funding decision is made.
Review Criteria
The review criteria focus on three main components:
o the applicant;
o the research proposed (both its scientific merit and training
potential); and
o the training resources and environment, including the sponsor.
It is important to remember that the F32 program is a training
mechanism and not a research mechanism. Major considerations in the
review are the applicant's potential for a productive scientific
career, the applicant's need for the proposed training, and the
degree to which the research training proposal, the sponsor, and the
environment will meet the needed training. For more details, see
Review Criteria on page 4 of the instructions for application form
PHS 416-1.
Notification
Shortly after the initial review meeting, each candidate will be sent
a mailer that includes the IRG recommendation, where appropriate the
priority score and percentile rank (except in those cases where the
Institute does not percentile fellowships), and information regarding
the Institute program official. The Institute automatically forwards
a copy of the summary statement to the applicant as soon as possible
after receipt from the IRG. Following the second-level review, the
Institute will notify each applicant of the final disposition of the
application. Any questions on initial review recommendations and
funding possibilities should be directed to the appropriate Institute
program official, not the scientific review administrator of the IRG.
Award Criteria
The staff of the NIH Institutes use the following criteria in making
awards: (1) the IRG recommendation of the overall merit of the
application; (2) the relevance of the application to the Institute's
research priorities and program balance; and (3) the availability of
funds.
Activation. An awardee has up to 6 months from the issue date on the
award notice to activate the award. Under unusual circumstances, an
NIH Institute may grant an extension of the activation period upon
receipt of a specific request form the fellow.
Success Rate
In fiscal year 1993, NIH reviewed 2,075 NRSA F32 applications and
made 793 awards, for an applicant success rate of 38.2 percent. The
average success rate over the last 5 fiscal years was 38.5 percent.
(These data, for all years, include the National Institute on Alcohol
Abuse and Alcoholism, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the
National Institute of Mental Health.) Because awards are made by
individual Institutes, applicant success rates by Institute may vary.
The availability of funds for future awards is contingent upon annual
appropriations.
AUTHORITY AND REGULATIONS
NRSAs are made under the authority of Section 487 of the Public
Health Service Act as amended (42 USC 288), and Title 42 of the Code
of Federal Regulations, Part 66. The following Catalog of Federal
Domestic Assistance numbers are applicable to these awards: 93.121,
93.172, 93.173, 93.272, 93.278, 93.282, 93.306, 93.361, 93.398,
93.821, 93.837-93.839, 93,846-93.849, 93.853-93.856, 93.859, 93.862-
93.867, 93.880, 93.894, and 93.929.
Fellowships must be administered in accordance with the current
National Research Service Award Guidelines for Individual Awards and
Institutional Grants, the current PHS Grants Policy Statement, and
any terms and conditions specified on the award notice. The
following policies are noted.
Certification and Reporting Procedures. No application will be
accepted without the applicant signing the certification block which
indicates, among other things, intent to meet the payback provisions
required under law. No funds may be disbursed until the fellow has
started training under the award and an Activation Notice (PHS 416-5)
has been submitted to NIH, accompanied by a Payback Agreement (PHS
6031) when the award is for the individual's initial 12 months of
NRSA postdoctoral support.
When support ends, the fellow must submit a Termination Notice (PHS
416-7) to the NIH, and if the fellow has a payback obligation, he or
she must notify the NIH of any change in address and submit Annual
Payback Activities Certification forms (PHS 6031-1) until the payback
service obligation is satisfied.
Inventions and Publications. Fellowships made primarily for
educational purposes are exempted from the PHS invention
requirements. F32 awards will not contain any provision giving PHS
rights to inventions made by the awardee.
PHS policy is to make available to the public the results and
accomplishments of the activities that it funds. Therefore, it is
incumbent upon fellows to make results and accomplishments of their
F32 activities available to the public. There should be no
restrictions on the publication of results in a timely manner.
Except as otherwise provided in the terms and conditions of the
award, the recipient is free to arrange for copyright without
approval when publications, data, or other copyrightable works are
developed in the course of work under a PHS grant-supported project
or activity. Any such copyrighted or copyrightable works shall be
subject to a royalty-free, nonexclusive, and irrevocable license to
the Government to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use them, and to
authorize others to do so for Federal Government purposes.
Nondiscrimination. The NIH research training and career development
programs are conducted in compliance with applicable public laws
enacted by the Congress since 1964, which provide that no person
shall, on the grounds of race, color, national origin, handicap, or
age, be excluded from participating in, be denied the benefits of, or
be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity (or, on
the basis of sex, with respect to any education program or activity)
receiving Federal assistance.
This program is not subject to the intergovernmental review
requirements of Executive Order 12372 or Health Systems Agency
review.
