NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRP) Application Cycle Opened on September 1

Have you thought about applying for an NIH Extramural LRP award? Do you know someone that should?  Awardees can receive up to $100,000 of qualified educational debt repayment with a two-year contract.

The NIH LRPs are unique programs, with tremendous benefit to early-stage researchers, so we strongly encourage those that were not successful in getting their applications funded to apply again.

Be sure to visit the LRP website or attend one of our upcoming events to learn more about eligibility requirements, application dates, and benefits of receiving an NIH LRP award!

  • October 3 – LRP Technical Assistance Webinar
  • Early November – Ask Me Anything

The Extramural LRP application cycle will close on November 17, 2022.
