Technical Intramural Research Training Award
Technical Intramural Research Training Award (Tech-IRTA) fellowships are designed
to produce a cadre of highly trained support professionals capable of performing
the latest advanced techniques in a research laboratory. In addition to the
developmental experiences afforded to participants in the laboratory, additional
training at accredited institutions, as well as through the Foundation for the
Advanced Education in the Sciences, is available.
To be eligible for this program, candidates must have graduated from an accredited
American college or university with a bachelor's or master's degree; they must
also be United States citizens or permanent residents. The initial fellowship
award is for two years and can be extended to a maximum of three years. Tech-IRTA
fellowships do not carry a service payback obligation.
The stipend ranges for the Tech-IRTA program depend on the applicant's educational
level.
