The NIH Extramural Loan Repayment Programs are a vital component of our nation's efforts to attract health professionals to careers in clinical, pediatric, health disparities, or contraception and infertility research.
In exchange for a two year commitment to a research career, NIH will repay up to $35,000 per year of qualified educational debt. Participants may apply for additional one year or two year contracts and if approved by the NIH continue to receive loan repayment benefits.
In addition, the NIH will make corresponding Federal tax payments equal to 39% of each loan repayment to cover increased Federal taxes. The NIH may also reimburse any increased state or local taxes and/or additional increased Federal taxes (where the Federal tax payments were not sufficient to fully cover increased Federal taxes) that an individual may incur as a result of LRP benefits.
