You have a few options when it comes to submitting your NRSA forms for appointment, payback, and termination.

Online With xTrain

If you're the PI on a training grant with a Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP) institution, you can use xTrain to create and submit appointments, re-appointments, amendments, and terminations.

You may also download and print payback agreements from xTrain, but for postdoc trainees you will need to send us an original, signed agreement. See the next section for more information.

Go to Search Institutions to see if yours is an FDP member. If it is and you're registered with the  Commons, you're automatically set up to use xTrain. Learn more at xTrain -- Overview and Functions.

On the Paper Trail

If your institution is not an FDP member, follow the instructions below.

Appointment Forms and Payback Agreements for Postdoctoral Trainees

For postdoctoral trainees starting their initial appointment on a T32 or T35, you must mail their appointment form and an original, signed payback agreement three months before your budget period end date. Send to:
