Abstract: The NIH Loan Repayment Programs are designed to attract highly qualified physicians and other scientific or medical personnel to research opportunities at the National Institutes of Health (NIH, Intramural) and Non-NIH sites (Extramural). There are a total of 3 Intramural and 5 Extramural programs. Intramural includes AIDS Research Loan Repayment Program (AIDS-LRP), the General Research LRP (GR-LRP), which includes a program for the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Fellows, and the Clinical Research LRP for Individuals from Disadvantaged Backgrounds (CR-LRP). The Extramural programs include Clinical Research LRP for Individuals from Disadvantaged Backgrounds (ECR-LRP), the Pediatric Research LRP (PR-LRP), the Contraception and Infertility Research LRP (CIR-LRP), the Health Disparities Research LRP (HD-LRP), and the Clinical Research LRP (LRP-CR). Data collected through application forms is necessary to determine an applicant's eligibility for the program, including his or her research plans and career interests. The forms presented to the applicant vary based on the application type, Initial/New or Renewal. Each initial applicant is expected to spend approximately 11 hours completing and assembling the application package, and each renewal applicant approximately 7 hours. Both applications require supporting online forms to be completed by their colleagues.
