Tag: Loan Repayment Program | NIH
You do the research. NIH will repay your student loans. That is the idea behind the National Institutes of Health Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs).
NIH wants to encourage outstanding health professionals to pursue careers in biomedical, behavioral, social, and clinical research. If you commit at least two years to conducting qualified research funded by a domestic nonprofit organization or U.S. federal, state, or local government entity, NIH may repay up to $35,000 of your qualified student loan debt per year, including most undergraduate, graduate, and medical school loans.
Loan repayment benefits are in addition to the institutional salary you receive for your research. NIH offers three types of loan repayment: Extramural LRPs – for researchers and scientists conducting research at universities and other nonprofit organizations, Intramural LRPs – for NIH employee researchers . A separate Student Loan Repayment Program is also available to certain NIH employees who are not research scientists.
