NRSA Training Grant and Fellowship Awards, ibid. Vol. 25, No. 2,
February 2, 1996
Purpose
The Congress of the United States enacted the National Research
Service Act (NRSA) Program in 1974 to help ensure that highly trained
scientists would be available in adequate numbers and in appropriate
research areas to carry out the Nation's biomedical and behavioral
research agenda. Under this congressional authority, the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) awards NRSA individual postdoctoral
fellowships (F32) to the most promising applicants to support full-
time research training related to the mission of the NIH constituent
institutes and centers.
Eligibility Requirements
Citizenship. By the time of award, 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., possess
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. Before an NRSA award can be activated, the
individual 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 identify a sponsoring institution and an individual
who will serve as a sponsor and will supervise the training and
research experience. The sponsoring institution may be private
(profit or nonprofit) or public, including the NIH Intramural
Programs and other Federal laboratories.
The applicant's sponsor should be an active investigator in the area
of the proposed research who will directly supervise the candidate's
research. The sponsor must document, in the application, the
availability of staff, research support, and facilities for high-
quality research training. 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.
Foreign Sponsorship. 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 if there is a clear scientific advantage will
foreign training be supported.
Period of Support
Individuals may receive up to 3 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 3-year limit require a waiver from NIH.
Individuals interested in a waiver should consult with staff of the
relevant NIH institute.
Characteristics of Programs
The proposed NRSA training must be within the scope of biomedical or
behavioral research and must 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 a health
professional degree, the proposed training may be 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 restrict clinical duties within their
full-time research training experience to those that are part of the
research training experience.
The Secretary, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
is required by law, considering the Nation's overall needs for
biomedical personnel, to give special consideration to physicians who
agree to undertake a minimum of 2 years of biomedical or behavioral
research. 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 fellowship (F32) 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
As required by the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993, postdoctoral
fellows incur a service obligation of 1 month for each month of
support during the first 12 months of the NRSA postdoctoral support.
The 13th and subsequent months of NRSA support are acceptable
postdoctoral payback service. Thus, individuals who continue under
the award for 2 years would have paid off their first year obligation
by the end of the second year.
Applicants accepting an award for the first 12 months of NRSA
postdoctoral support must sign a payback agreement (PHS Form 6031) in
which they agree to engage in health-related research training,
research, and/or teaching for 12 months.
Those who do not pay back their obligation through continued NRSA
support may satisfy their obligation by serving in a full-time
position in which health-related research, research training, or
teaching are the primary activities or by engaging in such research,
research training, or teaching in a position(s) for more than an
average of 20 hours per week of a full work-year. Payback service
may be conducted in an academic, governmental, commercial, or
nonacademic environment, 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 teaching positions. 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 NIH.
The NIH institute supporting the fellowship 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 2 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, U.S. Department of
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, 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 NIH institute contact.
Leave
Fellows may continue to receive stipends during periods of vacation
and holidays available to individuals in comparable training
positions at the sponsoring institution. Also, fellows may continue
to receive stipends for up to 15 calendar days of sick leave per
year. Sick leave may be used for the medical conditions related to
pregnancy and childbirth pursuant to the Pregnancy Discrimination Act
[42 USC 2000 e (k)]. Fellows may continue to receive stipends for up
to 30 calendar days of parental leave per year for the adoption or
the birth of a child when those in comparable training positions at
the grantee or sponsoring institution have access to paid leave for
this purpose and the use of parental leave is approved by the
sponsor. A period of terminal leave is not permitted and payment may
not be made from grant funds for leave not taken. Individuals
requiring extended periods of time away from their research training
experience must seek approval from the NIH awarding component for an
unpaid leave of absence.
Stipends
NRSA awards 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. Postdoctoral stipends are as follows:
Full Years of Relevant Experience Annual Amount
<1 $19,608
1 20,700
2 25,600
3 26,900
4 28,200
5 29,500
6 30,800
>7 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 award. No departure from the standard stipend schedule may be
negotiated between the institution and the fellow.
For fellows sponsored by domestic nonfederal institutions, the
stipend will be paid through the sponsoring institution. For fellows
sponsored by Federal or foreign institutions, the monthly stipend
payment will be deposited in the fellow's U.S. bank account or paid
directly to the fellow by U. S. Department of Treasury check.
Stipend Supplementation. Supplementation or additional support to
offset the cost of living may be provided by the sponsoring
institution, but must not require any additional obligation from the
fellow. Federal funds may not 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) funds be used for supplementation.
Compensation. An institution may provide additional funds to a
fellow in the form of compensation (such as salary and/or tuition
remission) for services such as teaching or laboratory
assistantships. A fellow may receive compensation for services as a
research assistant or in some other position on a Federal research
grant, including a PHS research grant. However, compensated services
should occur on a limited, part-time basis apart from the normal
research training activities, which require a minimum of 40 hours per
week. In addition, compensation may not be paid from a research
grant supporting research that is part of the research 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.
Additionally, compensation must be in accordance with institutional
policies applied consistently to both federally and non-federally
supported activities and supported by acceptable accounting records
determined by the employer-employee relationship agreement.
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 fellowship may not be held concurrently
with another Federally sponsored fellowship or similar award that
provides a stipend or otherwise duplicates provisions of the NRSA.
Tax Liability
The Internal Revenue Code, Section 117, 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 NIH or with the institution
in which they are pursuing research training.
The interpretation and implementation of the tax laws are the domain
of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the courts. NIH takes no
position on the status of 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 at domestic nonfederal institutions). NIH will issue the
form for all fellows training at Federal or foreign laboratories and
receiving a stipend check from the U.S. Treasury.
Other Training Costs
NIH will provide an institutional allowance of $3,000 per 12-month
period to nonfederal, nonprofit sponsoring institutions to help
defray such awardee expenses as research supplies, equipment, and
travel to scientific meetings. 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
NIH.
Beginning in fiscal year 1997, NIH will provide up to $1,000 for
fellows sponsored by Federal laboratories or for-profit institutions
for expenses associated with travel to scientific meetings and books.
For fellows at for-profit institutions, the $1,000 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 when the
training of a fellow involves extraordinary costs for: travel to
field sites remote from the sponsoring institution; or,
accommodations for fellows who are disabled, as defined by the
Americans With Disabilities Act. The funds requested for
extraordinary costs must be reasonable in relationship to the total
dollars awarded under the fellowship and must be directly related to
the approved research training experience. Such additional funds
shall be provided only in exceptional circumstances that are fully
justified and explained by the institution.
Tuition and Fees. Beginning in Fiscal Year 1997, the NIH will offset
the combined cost of tuition, fees, and self-only health insurance at
the following rate: 100 percent of all costs up to $2,000 and 60
percent of costs above $2,000. Costs associated with tuition and
fees are allowable only if they are required for specific courses in
support of the research training experience supported by the
fellowship. Family medical insurance is not allowable under an NRSA
fellowship. A description of this policy change appeared in the NIH
Guide for Grants and Contracts, Volume 25, No. 2, February 2, 1996.
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. Indirect costs
are not allowed on individual fellowship awards.
Application Procedures
Individuals must submit the application form, PHS Individual National
Research Service Award (PHS 416-1, rev. 8/95), and include at least
three letters of reference. If the applicant has been lawfully
admitted to the United States for permanent residence, the
appropriate item should be checked on the Face Page of the
application. Applicants who have applied for and have not yet been
granted admission as a permanent resident should also check the
Permanent Resident block on the Face Page of the PHS 416-1
application, and also write in the word ~pending.~ A notarized
statement documenting legal admission for permanent residence must be
submitted prior to the issuance of an award.
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.
On the application face page, applicants should indicate in Item 3
the initials of the NIH institute (e.g., NIA, NIGMS) most appropriate
to the research area of the application. The list of institutes at
the end of this announcement will be helpful in selecting the
appropriate initials. Alternatively, if the application is submitted
in response to a Program Announcement (PA) or Request for Application
(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 application assignment process.
Applications kits and the brochure "Helpful Hints on Preparing a
Fellowship Application to the National Institutes of Health," are
available at most institutional offices of sponsored research and may
be obtained from the Grants Information Office, Office of Extramural
Outreach and Information Resources, National Institutes of Health,
6701 Rockledge Drive, MSC 7910, Bethesda, MD 20892-7910, telephone
301/710-0267, email: [email protected].
Concurrent Applications. An individual may not have more than one
individual NRSA fellowship or comparable application pending
concurrently with the NIH or other DHHS agencies.
Application Receipt Dates and Review Schedule
F32 applications undergo a review process that takes between 5 and 8
months. The three annual review cycles are as follows:
Application Initial Secondary Range of
Receipt Review Review Likely
Date Date Date Start Dates
Apr 5 Jun/Jul Aug/Sep Sep 1 - Dec 1
Aug 5 Oct/Nov Dec/Jan Jan 1 - Mar 1
Dec 5 Feb/Mar Apr/May May 1 - Jul 1
Review Considerations
Applications receive two sequential levels of review. Initial review
groups (IRGs), composed primarily of nongovernment scientists who
have been selected for their competence in particular scientific
areas, evaluate applications for merit. A scientific review
administrator (SRA), a designated Federal official, coordinates the
review of applications for each IRG.
After the initial review meeting, the SRA prepares the summary
statement for each application and forwards it to the appropriate NIH
institute. There, a second level of review is provided by institute
staff members before a funding decision is made.
Review Criteria
The review criteria focus on three main components:
o qualifications and potential of the applicant.
o the scientific merit and training potential of the proposed
research.
o the training resources and environment, including the sponsor.
It is important to remember that the F32 program is a training award
and not a research award. 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
satisfy these needs. For more details, see the Peer Review Process
in the PHS 416-1 application instructions.
Notification
Shortly after the initial review meeting, each candidate will be sent
a mailer that includes the IRG recommendation, the priority score,
and the name of a program official in one of the NIH institutes or
centers. 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
about 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:
o IRG recommendation of the overall merit of the application
o relevance of the application to institute research priorities and
program balance
o 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 from the fellow.
Terms and Conditions of Support
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. Individuals admitted to the United States as
permanent residents must submit notarized evidence of legal admission
prior to the award. 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 laws that
provide that no person shall, on the grounds of race, color, national
origin, handicap, or age, be excluded from participation 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.
Authority and Regulations
NRSA awards 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.
This program is not subject to the intergovernmental review
requirements of Executive Order 12372 or Health Systems Agency
