Brief Description:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announces the availability of educational loan repayment under the NIH Extramural Pediatric Research Loan Repayment Program (PR-LRP). The Loan Repayment Program for Pediatric Research provides for the repayment of up to $35,000 of the principal and interest of the extant educational loans of such health professionals for each year of obligated service. Payments equal to 39 percent of total loan repayments are issued to the Internal Revenue Service on behalf of program participants to offset Federal tax liabilities incurred. The purpose of the Pediatric Research Loan Repayment Program is the recruitment and retention of highly qualified health professionals as pediatric investigators. Through this notice, the NIH invites qualified health professionals who contractually agree to engage in pediatric research for at least two years, and who agree to engage in such research for at least 50 percent of their work schedule (not less than 20 hours per week based on a 40-hour work week), to apply for participation in the NIH Pediatric Research Loan Repayment Program.
