THESE STIPEND LEVELS ARE EFFECTIVE ONLY FOR AWARDS MADE WITH FY 1997

FUNDS.  Retroactive adjustments or supplementation of stipends with

NRSA funds for awards made prior to October 1, 1996 is not permitted.

Stipend level adjustments can be made only on the award date of the

fellowship or the appointment date of the trainee on awards made with

FY 1997 funds.

 

Competing and non-competing awards made during the period between

October 1, 1996 and the date of this announcement will be

retroactively adjusted by the awarding component.  Institutions are

permitted to supplement NRSA stipends from non-Federal sources

according to their own formally established policies, as described in

the PHS Grants Policy Statement.

 

The new 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 now in the review process.
