Trainee Stipend Levels for FY 2007
NLM trainees and fellows receive stipends as a subsistence allowance to help
defray living expenses during the 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 is determined by the number
of full years of relevant post-degree experience at the time the award is issued
(not at the time of activation). Relevant experience may include research (including
research in industry), teaching, clinical duties, or other time spent in full-time
employment in a health-related field.
Stipend levels for FY 2007 are shown below. These are also provisionally the anticipated stipend levels for FY 2008.

- Predoctoral trainees include: holders of a baccalaureate degree enrolled in a doctoral program leading to a Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D. or other research doctoral degree; and health professional students not enrolled in a formal combined degree program (for example, M.D./Ph.D.) that wish to temporarily postpone their studies to receive specialized training.
- Priority fields: computer science, engineering, biological sciences, library and information science, or mathematics.
- Initial year of support begins with trainees placement within the stipend chart based on current professional years of experience. All subsequent years of support from that point onward will be incremented by 5% per year, or the NIH level, if greater than 5%.
