Abstract: The NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs) 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). Currently, there are three Intramural and six Extramural subcategories. Intramural subcategories include AIDS Research, Clinical Research for Individuals from Disadvantaged Backgrounds, and General Research. Extramural subcategories include Clinical Research, Pediatric Research, Contraception and Infertility Research, Health Disparities Research, Clinical Research for Individuals from Disadvantaged Backgrounds, and Research in Emerging Areas Critical to Human Health. Data collected through application forms is necessary to determine an applicant’s eligibility for the program, including the applicant’s research plans and career interests.
