NIH Loan Repayment Program: Recommendations on Writing a Successful Application

The NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs) are designed to recruit and retain highly qualified health professionals into biomedical or health behavioral research careers. The LRPs can pay up to $35,000 annually of a researcher’s qualified educational debt in return for a commitment to engage in NIH mission-relevant research.

Join us to hear from LRP award recipients and from LRP reviewers. They will share their experiences in applying or reviewing, offer tips and advice, and take your questions. This event may be most beneficial to doctoral students, postdocs, and junior faculty who are interested in applying to the NIH Loan Repayment Program: http://www.lrp.nih.gov/
