About the LRPs NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs) represent a vital component of our nation's

efforts to keep health professionals in research careers

Here’s how it works:

Outcome: Increase in nation’s stock of biomedical research scientists

YOU: Commit to perform research for 2 years

NIH: Repays up to $50,000/year of your qualified educational debt & covers resulting Federal taxes (39%)

BEFORE You Start Your Application

The following are things that you can do now to be ahead of the curve:

1. Read LRP website and published notices to determine which NIH LRP and IC is the right for you

2. Talk to an NIH LRP Program Officer/Liaison at the NIH Institute and Center that you would like to review your application

3. Talk to your mentor, potential recommenders and your institutional business official regarding your interest in applying for an LRP award

4. Contact your lender to get specific loan information (including account numbers, amounts owed and promissory notes)

5. Make sure you have an eRA Commons ID


Common Mistakes to Avoid

The following can weaken an applicant’s competitiveness: • Not contacting a program officer WELL BEFORE submitting

application • Weak or lukewarm recommendation letters ( kiss o f death…) • Questionable research commitment • Mediocre research plan • Rushed ap plication (i.e., mistakes, misspellings) • Inadequate research environment • Slim publication record

If your record is s lim, NEVER state, “I have a slim publication record, but”; Reviewers can tell by your CV; focus on identifying steps to improve

Include publication plans in your research plan (shows y ou’re thinking about how to increase)

Also, your mentor can help here by discussing in their recommendation how they will help you in this area)
