NIH NATIONAL RESEARCH SERVICE AWARDS FOR INDIVIDUAL POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS (F32) Release Date: December 11, 1998 PA NUMBER: PA-99-025 P.T. National Institutes of Health This notice supersedes that appeared in the NIH Guide, Vol. 25, No. 31, September 20, 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 will 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 non-citizen 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). Non-citizen 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 (also called mentor or supervisor) 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 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 the opportunities for new training experiences designed to broaden their scientific background. Foreign Sponsorship. Applicants requesting foreign training must show in the application that the foreign institution and sponsor offer unique 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 the NIH awarding component. Individuals interested in a waiver should consult with staff of the relevant NIH institute. If the need for a waiver is anticipated, the application should include a justification for training beyond 3 years of aggregate NRSA support. Characteristics of Programs The proposed NRSA training must be within the scope of biomedical, behavioral, or clinical 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 activities that are directly related to 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 and other health professionals who agree to undertake a minimum of 2 years of biomedical, behavioral or clinical 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 will 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 position in which health-related research, research training, or teaching are the primary activities. Such individuals must engage in research, research training, or teaching at a rate of 20 or more hours per week averaged over 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 the 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 of the 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 the payback obligation when compliance would constitute a substantial hardship against equity and good conscience. Policies regarding the NRSA payback obligation are explained in the NRSA Policy Guidelines which are available on the World Wide Web at http://www.nih.gov/training/nrsaguidelines/nrsa_toc.htm. Specific questions may appear in a list of Frequently Asked Questions which appears on the Web at http://www.nih.gov/training/faq_fellowships.htm. Other 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 full years of relevant postdoctoral experience at the time the award is issued. Fellows with less than one full year of postdoctoral experience at the time of award will receive initial support at the zero level. Relevant experience may include research (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. The stipend schedule is updated from time-to-time and applicants are advised to search the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts for the most current schedule or to check for the posting of the current stipend schedule on the NIH website at http://www.nih.gov/training/nrsa.htm. The awarding NIH institute or center will adjust awards as the stipend schedule is changed. Postdoctoral stipends for fiscal year 1999 are as follows: Postdoctoral Years of Experience 0 $26,256 1 $27,720 2 $32,700 3 $34,368 4 $36,036 5 $37,680 6 $39,348 7 or more $41,268 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 published NRSA 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 effort 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 research. 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 must only 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 $4,000 per 12-month period to nonfederal, nonprofit, or foreign sponsoring institutions to help defray such awardee expenses as research supplies, equipment, self-only health insurance, 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 enrolled or engaged in training for less 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. Family medical insurance is not allowable under an NRSA fellowship. NIH will provide up to $3,000 for fellows sponsored by Federal laboratories or for-profit institutions for expenses associated with travel to scientific meetings, self-only health insurance, and books. For fellows at for-profit institutions, the $3,000 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. The NIH will offset the combined cost of tuition and fees 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. A full description of the tuition policy is contained within the NRSA Policy Guidelines on the NIH website at http://www.nih.gov/training/nrsa.htm Travel Expenses. Awards for training at a foreign site may 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 available for 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. 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 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, minorities, and children in study populations. If the fellowship 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. Application Materials. To obtain application kits with instructions and forms, please contact your institutional office of sponsored research. If application kits are not available at the institution, they may be downloaded from the NIH website at http://www.nih.gov/grants/forms.htm or it may be requested from the: Extramural Outreach and Information Resources Office Office of Extramural Research National Institutes of Health 6701 Rockledge Drive, Room 6207 MSC 7910 Bethesda, MD 20892-7910 Telephone: (301) 710-0267. For faster service, send Email requests to grantsinfo@nih.gov. Please allow 2-4 weeks for U.S. mail requests. Concurrent Applications. An individual may not have more than one individual NRSA fellowship or comparable application pending review or award at the NIH or other DHHS agencies at the same time. Application Receipt Dates and Review Schedule F32 applications undergo a review process that takes between 5 and 8 months. The receipt dates and the three annual review cycles are as follows: Application Receipt Dates: Apr 5 Aug 5 Dec 5 Initial Review Dates: Jun/Jul Oct/Nov Feb/Mar Secondary Review Dates: Aug/Sep Dec/Jan Apr/May Range of Likey Start Dates: Sep 1 - Dec 1 Jan 1 - Mar 1 May 1 - Jul 1 Review Considerations Applications receive two sequential levels of review. Scientific Review Groups (SRGs), composed primarily of non-government 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 SRG. After the scientific 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 four main components: Candidate: An assessment of the candidate’s previous academic and research performance and the potential to become an important contributor to biomedical, behavioral, or clinical science. Sponsor and Training Environment: An assessment of the quality of the training environment and the qualifications of the sponsor as a mentor for the proposed research training experience. Research Proposal: The merit of the scientific proposal. Training Potential: An assessment of the value of the proposed fellowship experience as it relates to the candidate’s needs in preparation for a career as an independent researcher. Notification Within six weeks of the receipt of an application, applicants will receive confirmation of receipt and notification of assignment to a Scientific Review Group and an NIH institute or center. In that notification, the assigned NIH SRA will be identified. Any communication with the NIH prior to review should be through the identified SRA. Shortly after the scientific review meeting, each candidate will be sent a mailer that includes the SRG 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 SRG. Following the second-level review, the institute will notify each applicant of the final disposition of the application. Any questions about scientific review recommendations and funding possibilities should be directed to the appropriate institute program official, not the scientific review administrator of the SRG. Award Criteria The staff of the NIH institutes use the following criteria in making awards: SRG recommendation of the overall merit of the application relevance of the application to institute research priorities and program balance 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 NRSA Policy Guidelines for Individual Awards and Institutional Grants (see the NIH Website at http://www.nih.gov/training/nrsa.htm ), the current NIH Grants Policy Statement (see the NIH Website at http://www.nih.gov/grants/policy/policy.htm ), 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 received by the NIH. The Activation Notice must be accompanied by a Payback Agreement Form (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. Forms will be provided to awardees by the NIH awarding component. Forms may also be found on the NIH Website at http://www.nih.gov/grants/forms.htm . 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. Data Sharing. 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. Copyrights. 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.
