Tips for Applying Successfully:
1. If you are applying to the Postbac IRTA program, review the Postbac IRTA program description and the associated "Frequently
Asked Questions" before beginning your online application. If you are applying to the Technical IRTA Program, review the
Technical IRTA program description and "Frequently Asked Questions" for that program before beginning your online application.
2. Be sure that the e-mail addresses you provide for your references are accurate. Incorrect e-mail addresses will delay the
processing of your application and could result in your application's not receiving full consideration.
3. Please note that this form accepts plain text inputs only. This means that special characters and formatting such as bullets,
"smart quotes," bold or italic fonts, Greek letters, etc., will be lost or altered. To ensure your data appears as you intend it to,
compose your inputs to the longer fields on this form using a plain text editor (e.g., Notepad, for PC users, or TextEdit, for Mac
users). In place of special formatting, you will need to rely on the use of capital letters, white space, asterisks, and other standard
keyboard characters.
4. Proofread your application thoroughly for accuracy and completeness; false or inaccurate information may be grounds for denying
your candidacy or removing you from the program.
5. Complete your application as soon as possible and encourage your references to submit their letters promptly using our online

PRIVACY ACT NOTIFICATION STATEMENT
MESSAGE
Back to Previous Page
The primary use of information collected via the Office of Intramural Training and Education (OITE) online forms is to evaluate an
applicant's qualifications for research training at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Information may be used during admission
consideration; in preparing appointment paperwork; and to provide data for training program evaluation. Information will be disclosed
to investigators, members of advisory committees, OITE staff, and contractors working on our behalf. Additional disclosures may be
made to law enforcement agencies concerning violations of law or regulation. Application for this program is voluntary; however, in
order for the OITE to process an application, the applicant must complete the required fields.
The legal authority granted to NIH to train future biomedical scientists comes from several sources. Title 42 of the U.S. Code, Sections
241 and 282(b)(13) authorize the Director, NIH, to conduct and support research training for which fellowship support is not provided
under Part 487 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (i.e., National Research Service Awards), and that is not residency training of
physicians or other health professionals. Sections 405(b)(1)(C) of the PHS Act and 42 U.S.C. Sections 284(b)(1)(C) and 285-287 grant this
same authority to the Director of each of the Institutes/Centers at NIH.
