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.

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.
