Event Overview:

Description:

The NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs), established by Congress, are designed to help recruit and retain highly qualified health professionals in biomedical and biobehavioral research careers. The escalating costs of advanced education and training in medicine and clinical specialties are forcing some scientists to abandon their research careers for higher-paying private industry or private practice career. The LRPs help ease that burden by repaying up to $50,000 per year in qualified educational debt for researchers who commit to conducting research relevant to the NIH mission. This webinar will provide an overview of the NIH Loan Repayment Programs, including eligibility, the application process, and tips for preparing a competitive application to the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI).
