Program Description
The AIDS Research Loan Repayment Program helps to assure an
adequate supply of trained researchers with respect to AIDS at the National
Institutes of Health by providing for the repayment of educational loans for
participants who contractually agree to engage in AIDS research as employees
of the NIH. Recipients must agree by written contract to engage in AIDS
research, initially, for a minimum of 2 years. Continuation contracts are
available, dependent upon level of debt and continued involvement in AIDS
research, and are issued for one-year periods. Maximum program benefit is

reimbursements. Recipients must have qualified educational debt equal to or
in excess of 20 percent of their annual NIH salary.
