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 applicantâs eligibility for the program, including the applicantâs research plans and career interests.
US Code:
42 USC 288-1
Name of Law: AIDS Research loan Repayment Program
Although the formatting of the forms may appear different due to the ASSIST module, there are no changes to the collection instruments themselves (in other words, the changes are only aesthetic). Due to workflow efficiencies realized through the ASSIST module along with a reduction in annual application submissions, we estimate a reduction of 3,529 burden hours since the previously approved submission.
