From September 1st to November 17th, the Division of Loan Repayment at the National Institutes of Health will be accepting applications for research in the areas of clinical research, pediatric research, health disparities research, contraception and infertility research, or clinical research for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.

They must devote at least 20 hours per week to their research and it must fit within one of five above program areas. In addition, applicants must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, possess a doctoral-level degree (with the exception of the contraception and infertility research LRP), and have educational loan debt equal to or exceeding 20 percent of his or her annual institutional base salary.
