APPENDIX N NIH/ADAMHA/HRA ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR FY 1978 NRSA PROGRAMS

APPENDIX N1 NATIONAL RESEARCH SERVICE AWARDS . FOR . = INSTITUTIONAL GRANTS Page One A N N O U N C E M E N T Subject to avaiZabbi1'ity of funds and to periodic modification of research areas, applications for institutional research training grants Ritz be reaffixed by NIP on February 1. Because of the timing of this announcement, for 1977 the receipt date Ritz be ApriZ 1. The resec~roh area Listing for 1977 is inaZuded in this c~nnounoement. ResuZ(s of reifier Fizz be c~nnounacd, for most appZi- oattons, the following Ootober, with c: start date of the foZZo~ing July 1. Announcement areas for ApriZ 1, 1977, core attached. Under authority of Section 472 of the Public Health Service Act as amended (42 USC 2891-1) , the National Institutes of Health (NIH) awards grants to eligible institutions to develop or enhance research training opportunities for individuals selected by them who are interested in careers in specified areas of biomedical and behavioral research. Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 66, is applicable to these awards. Domestic nonprofit private or non-Federal public institutions may apply for grants to support training programs in specified areas of research. Pre- and postdoctoral trainees may be supported if either or both levers) of training are justified in and approved on the basis of the application. The applicant institution must have, or be able to develop, the staff and facilities required for the proposed programs. The training program director at the institution will be responsible for the selection and appointment of trainees to receive National Research Service Awards and for the overall direction of the program. The proposed program must encompass supervised biomedical research training in the specified areas, and offer opportunity for research training leading toward the research degree, or, in the case of research health scientists, research clinicians, etc., to broaden their scientific background. National Research Service Awards (NRSA) are not made for study leading to the M.D. , D. O., D. D. S., or other similar professional degrees . Neither will these awards support non-research clinical train) ng. Application Material Application materials may be obtained from the Grants Inquiries Office, Division of Research Grants, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20014. If a self-addressed gunned mailing label is enclosed in the request for kits, it will expedite handling. Applicants are advised to contact the person designated in the area listing to discuss any questions, and especially if (1) an application including predoctoral training is planned, (2) compatibility between institutional and agency training aims is in daub t, (3) ques Lions arise as to waiver provis ion f or the three-year limit on NRSA support. 165

Page Two Review and select ion NRS grant applicat ions will be evaluated by inn' ial peer review groups at the NIH and are also subject to review and approval of the appropriate advisory council of the NIH whose activities relate to the research training proposed. The application will be evaluated on the basis of records and qualifications of participating faculty, the proposed research training objectives and program design, previous training record of the program and its ability to attract high caliber students, institutional commit- ment, facilities and environment, and relationship of the proposed program goals to need for research training in NIH program areas. GENERAL PROVI SIONS Eligibility requirements Individuals appointed as trainees on the grant must be citizens or non-citizen nationals of the United States, or have been lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence and have in their possession a permanent visa at time of appointment. A non-citizen national is a person who although not a citizen of the United States, owes permanent allegiance to the United States. They are generally persons born in lands which are not States, but which are under United States sovereignty, jurisdiction, or administration (e.g. American Samoa). Individuals on temporary or student visas are not eligible. Predoctoral trainees must have received an appropriate baccalaureate degree as of the date of appointment to the approved training program. An individual at the postdoctoral level must have received as of the date of appointment to the approved training program, a Ph.D., M.D., D.D.S., D.O., D.V.M., O.D., Sc.D., D.Eng., D.N.S., or equivalent domestic or foreign degree. Stipends and other training costs Stipends and allowances requested will be in accordance with the following: For predoctoral, an annual stipend of $3, 900 for individuals at all levels. For postdoctorals, the stipend for the first year is determined by the number of years of prior relevant postdoctoral experience at tome of appointment. Rele- vant experience may include research experience (including industrial), teaching, internship, residency, or other time spent in full-time pursuit of additional degrees or full-time studies in a health-related field at a level beyond that of the qualifying doctoral degree. The stipend for each additional year of support is based on the level for the first year plus $400 for each additional year under the Nat tonal Re search Service Award . Tuition and travel may be requested. There is no allowance for dependents.

Page Three Stipend supplementation from non-Federal funds is permitted. Other Federal funds may be used for supplementation only if authorized by the program from which such funds are derived. In addition to stipends, the institution may request tuition, fees (including appropriate medical insurance) , and travel for trainees, actual indirect costs or 8% of allowable direct costs (whichever is less) and up to 95% of the total award for cos ts deemed essential to carry out the NRSA training program such as salaries, equipment, research supplies, s taf f travel, etc. . Period of Support Awards for institutional grants may be made for project periods of up to 5 years . However, no individual may receive more than three years of support in the aggregate from a National Research Service Award. Any exception to this requires a waiver from the Agency head based on review of justification from the trainee and the grantee institution. Conditions of Award No trainee will be appointed unless a Statement of . Appointment form and a signed Payback Agreement indicating his or her intent to meet the service or payback provisions required under the law have been submitted to NIH. Trainee appointments are made for full-time research training and research. Trainees may utilize some of their time in academic studies and clinical duties if such work is closely related to their research training experience. A NRSA recipient may not hold another Federally sponsored fellowship or training award concurrently with a National Research Service Award. A research trainee may, however, accept concurrent educational remuneration from the Veterans Administration (e.g. G.I. Bill) and loans from Federal funds. Within two years after completion of NRSA support recipients of NRS Awards are to engage in biomedical or behavioral research or teaching or any combination thereof which is in accordance with usual patterns of academic employment for a period equal to the period of support. Alternatively, if the Secretary, DHEW, determines there are no suitable health research or teaching positions available to the individual, the following may be authorized: (1) If the individual is a physician, dentist, nurse, or other individual trained to provide health care directly ro patients, the Secretary may authorize (a) service in the National Health Service Corps, (b) service in his or her specialty in a geographic area designated by the Secretary, or (c) service in his or her specialty in a health maintenance organization serving a medically underserved population; (2) If the individual who received the KRS Award is not trained to provide health care to patients, the Secretary may authorize the individual to engage in some other health- related activity. For each year for which an individual receives a NRS Award he or she shall (a) engage in twelve months of health research or teaching, (b) serve twelve months as a member of the National Health Service Corps, or (c) if authorized by the Secretary for one of the other alternatives shall serve twenty months f or each year of award . For individuals who fail to fulfill their obligation through service, the United States is entitled to recover an amount equal to the total stipend received plus interest. The amount is computed in accordance with a formula 167

Page Four which gives only one-half credit to each month of service when the total payback obligation is not completely fulfilled through service. Interest on the amount begins and is at the rate fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury considering private consumer rates which prevail on the date the United States becomes entitled to such amount. Payment must be completed within three years from that date. By Federal Regulation, there are certain conditions under which the Secretary, HEW, may extend the period for undertaking service or for repayment, permit breaks in service, or to otherwise waive or suspend the payback obligation of an individual where enforcement of the obligation would involve extreme hardship or be against equity and good conscience. Trainees are not entitled to vacations, as such, although those at academic institutions may take the holidays at Christmas, in the Spring, etc., and the short period between semesters or quarters. The time between a summer session and a fall semester is considered an active part of the training period. Those at non-academic ins titutions are entitled to the normal holiday and vacation periods of the institution. Taxability of Stipends NIH takes no position on the taxability or non- . taxability of National Research Service Award stipends. Recipients of the NRS Award stipend are advised to consult local, State, and Federal revenue services. Notification of Final Action The applicant will be notified by the awarding = . _ urn' of the final action on the application by either an award notice or by a letter..

Applicants should contact the individuals designated for additional information, particularly when predoctoral training is contemplated. National Ins ti Lute on Aging Awards may be for predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees or a combination of the two. Train- ing may be for laboratory, clinical, or f ield research, and may be multidisciplinary. It may relate to: 1. The biology of aging, e. g. biophys ical, b iochemical, cellular, organ or organ- ismic aging, the pathologic changes in aging experimental animals . 2 . The special medical problems of aging and the aged, e.g. preventive medicine and aging, the aging nervous system, senile dementia, aging of the endocrine system, aging of connective tissue structures, pharmo- kinetics and pharmodynamics in the aged. 3. Psychological aspects of aging and the aged, e.g. cognitive, personality, and attitudinal changes with age. 4. Societal aspects of aging, e.g. population age-structure and its impact on economic, socie- tal, and individual function, retirement, social aspects of aging in different cultures.

Institutions may supplement stipends as necessary from institutional resources. No ADAMHA grant funds may be used for supplementation. No supplementation may be provided from other Federal funds unless explic- itly authorized under terms of the specific program from which such funds are received. Funds will not be provided to cover the cost of travel between the fellow's place of residence and the training institution, except (1) the institution may authorize from the institutional allowance a one-way travel allowance in a case of extreme need or hardship; or, (2) the ADAMHA awarding compo- nent may authorize the cost of a single roundtrip economy or coach ticket to the training site when the approved training is at a foreign site or institution. Upon request, ADAMHA will provide funds of up to $3,000 per 12-month period to the non-Federal sponsoring institution to help defray such trainee expenses as tuition and fees, research supplies , equipment , travel to scientif ic meetings, and related items . Art `. llowance of up to $1, 000 per 12-month period is available f or the f ellow sponsored by a Federal labora- tory for scientific meeting travel expenses and appropriate medical insurance . When an individual award is for approved training involving research at sites other than the sponsoring institution, an allowance may Be requested to help support field costs of the research as well as travel. The sponsoring institution shall be entitled to the approved institutional allowance only upon official activation of the award. However, if an individual fellow is not enrolled or engaged in training for more than six months of the year of support for which the award was made, one-half of the allowance must be refunded to the Public Health Service. PERIOD OF SUPPORT: No individual may receive more than three years of support in the aggregate under the National Research Service Award program. Any exception to this requires a waiver from the Director of the awarding Institute based on review of justification from the Awardee and his or her sponsor. A' though fellowships are awarded for 12-month periods, assurances may be given by the awarding unit for continued support beyond the first year provided progress is satisfactory and funds are available. ACTIVATION DATE: An awardee has until the end of twelve months from the issue date on the award notice to activate a new award. CONDITIONS OF AWARD: No funds will be made available to an individual unless he or she has signed and submitted a Payback Agreement indicating his or her intent to meet payback provisions required under the law. Within two years after completion of NRSA support, recipients of SIRS Awards are to engage for a period equal to the period of support in bio- medical or behavioral research or teaching or any combination thereof. When in academic employment, such research or teaching may be in any 183

combination in accordance with the usual patterns of academic employment. Alternatively, if the Secretary, HEW, determines that there are no suitable health research or teaching positions available to the individual, the following may be authorized: (1) If the individual is a physician, dentist, nurse, or otherwise trained to provide health care directly to patients, the Secretary may authorize (a) service in the National Health Service Corps, (b) service in his or her specialty in a geographic area designated by the Secretary, or (c) service in his or her specialty in a health maintenance organization serving a medically underserved popu- lation; or (2) If the individual who received the MRS Award is not trained to provide health care to patients, the Secretary may authorize the individual to engage in some other health-related activity. For each year for which an individual receives an NRS Award he or she shall (a) engage in twelve months of health research or teaching, (b) serve twelve months as a member of the National Health Service Corps, or (c) if authorized by the Secretary for one of the other alternatives, shall serve twenty months for each year of award. For individuals who fail to fulfill their full service obligation, the United States is entitled to recover an amount equal to the stipend received from the ADAMHA National Research Service Awards, plus interest. The amount is computed in accordance with a formula which gives one-half credit to months actually served. Interest on the amount begins and is at the rate fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury considering private consumer rates whi ch prevail on the date the United States becomes entitled to such amount. Financial payback must be completed within three years from that date. By Federal Regulation, there are certain conditions under which the Secretary, HEW, may extend the period for undertaking service or for financial payback, permit breaks in service, or otherwise waive or suspend the payback obligation to an individual where enforcement of the obligation would involve extreme hardship or would be against equity and good conscience. Awards are made for full-time research training. Fellows may utilize some of their time in course studies and clinical duties if such work is closely related to and necessary for their research training experience. An NRS Award recipient may not hold another federally sponsored fellowship concurrently with a National Research Service Award. An NRSA recipient may, however, accept concurrent educational remuneration from the Veterans Administration (e. g., G. I. Bill) and loans from Federal funds. Fellows are not entitled to vacations, as such, although fellows at academic institutions may take the holidays at Christmas , in the spring, etc., and the short period between semesters and quarters. The time between a summer session and a fall semester is considered an active part of the training period. Those at non-academic institutions are entitled to the normal holiday and vacation periods of the _.as titutions. 184

APPENDIX N3.3 May 1977 ATTACHMENT ALCOHOL, DRUG ABUSE, AND MENTAL HEALTH ADMINISTRATION National Research Service Awards Program Research Areas for Individual and Institutional Awards Research areas are described below in which the three Institutes of the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration will offer awards. These areas are defined in terries of substantive and problem areas for which research manpower is needed, and examples are included of professions, disciplines, and approaches to be emphasized. Presentation of research areas is not in order of priority. National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism The research training efforts of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism are derived from the research program of the Institute which focuses on the multiple deters nants of alcoholism and on the treat- ment and rehabilitation of alcoholics and alcohol abusers. Research training support may be obtained for the totality of research and disciplinary areas. At present, however, the highest priority for funding under the NRSA program is in social, behavioral, clinical, and treatment research training involving such disciplines as sociology, psychology, anthropology, epidemiology, health economics, and behavioral genetics. The specific foci of the program are indicated below. 1. Development of Behavior Research training is needed to provide opportunities for study of developmental processes, e.g., those associated with adolescence and aging, as they may affect alcohol use and abuse. In addition, there is a need for study of genetic and social factors which may influence use of alcohol and development of alcohol problems. 2. Disorders and Maladaptive Behavior The NIAAA emphasizes research training related to the problems of alcoholism and excessive alcohol usage, as well as to the means to prevent or limit the severity of these problems. Proposals are invited for research training in the etiology, diagnosis, pyschopathology, treat- ment, epidemiology, and the prevention of alcoholism and alcohol-related prob lems . Eligible training proposals may be concerned with such issues as the differential diagnosis of alcoholism from other illnesses, especially the 193

Page 2 dividing line between chronic heavy drinking and alcoholism itself Researchers are needed to study the natural history of alcoholism, patterns and trends in occurence of alcoholism, diseases in which alcohol may be a contributing factor, and the efficacy of new and standard treatments for various alcoholic populations. 3. Social Issues Relating to Alcoholism and Alcohol Problems The NIAAA places high priority on minorities, youth, and women, and seeks research training applications related to these populations. Areas of interest include, for example, cultural patterns in use and abuse of alcohol and special service needs and problems of these populations. In addition, NIAAA invites research training proposals related to the role of social gatekeepers, especially the courts and the police, in helping persons with alcoholism and alcohol-related problems. Research training proposals may address legal, political science, and economic aspects of various social issues related to alcoholism, in addition to psychological and sociological aspects. 4. Services Research There is a need for highly qualified researchers to develop and apply scientific methodology to problems connected with developing and improving delivery systems for alcoholism treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention services. Encouraged are applications focused on research training in: the determination of the effectiveness of various services in meeting the needs of particular populations and communities; epide- miologic techniques as applied to alcoholism service delivery systems, to elucidate, for example, the effects of social and economic factors on utilization of services; and methods for researching needs assessment and planning approaches, organization, staffing, management, and financing of alcoholism services as factors affecting, for example, the standards and quality of care, utilization, and cost effectiveness. National Institute on Drug Abuse A_ 1. Development of Behavior Research training will emphasize the development of scientific expertise in behavioral pharmacology, molecular pharmacology, neuro- pharmacology, immunopharmacology, and endocrine pharmacology as these disciplines relate to mechanisms underlying the development of substance ~ a need to train scientific personnel for abuse behaviors. There is also ~ basic and applied research in the following areas: analytical chemistry, chemical synthesis, pharmacokinetics, and quantitative structure activity relationships. Additional expertise is needed in the areas of behavioral genetics and pharmacogenetics as they relate to the addictive process. Specialists are also sought in human personality formation, psychological development, the socialization process, and their interrelationships with addictive life styles. 194

Page 3 2 . Disorders and Maladap tive Behavior There is a need to develop research expertise on comp lex behavioral and societal factors involved in the etiology and epidemiology of drug abuse and related maladaptive behavior. Emphasis will be placed on providing interdisciplinary training and training of behave oral and social scientists in experimental and field analysis of social behavior. Particular emphasis is placed on training of behavioral and social scientists who have an interest in research on substance abuse and its sequelae and analyzing life style factors in clinical and naturalistic settings. Experimental and methodological expertise is needed to develop new measures of incidence, prevalence, and usage patterns of abuse substances. Training also is needed to enable scientists to assess the safety and ef ficacy of new pharmacological and innovative behavioral treatment modalities and to develop and assess, within both clinical and naturalistic settings, new modalities for treating drug and substance abuse behavior among various population groups. Emphasis will be given to extending research methodological skills of clinicians in the fields of pharmacology, behavioral pharmacology, and treatment of substance abuse. 3. Social Issues Relating to Alcohol, Drug Abuse ~ and Mental Health Applications for training are encouraged with respect to variations in drug abuse problems among special population groups at risk. Emphasis will be on interdisciplinary research training for social, psychological, and medical scientists. Trained personnel are also needed to conduct research employing anthropological methods for the study of drug use and abuse in dif ferent cultures and groups . 4. Services Research Training is needed for social and behavi oral scientists to design and execute evaluations of current programs of treatment or prevention. National Institute of Mental Health The research objective of NIMH is to better unders tend the determinants of human behavior particularly relevant to mental illness and mental health. Highly trained researchers are required to produce the new knowledge that is needed. Manpower needs in research related to mental health problems are in four general areas: (1) the processes underlying the development and variation of behavior; (2) mental disorders and maladaptive behavior; (3) social problems related to mental health; and (4) mental health services research. Support is available in these areas as they are relevant to the NIMH mission. l. Development of Behavior As behavior is determined by biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors, proposals will be accepted for research training in disciplinary 195

Page 4 or interdisciplinary settings concerned with these determinants. The development and maintenance of mental health throughout the entire lifespan of the individual is of concern, with 'special focus on childhood, adolescence, and old age . Applications concerned with such areas as behavioral genetics, psychobiological aspects of maturation' sensory and motor processes, affective and cognitive processes, and biological bases of social behavior and social organization are eligible for support. The influence of psychotropic drugs on these processes and the mechanisms of action are of special concern to NUMB. Proposals Will be considered also in such areas as development of the brain and the central nervous system, at all levels of organization, as they relate to behavior. Proposals are also invited in the areas of social and cognitive development, perception, memory, and language, particularly as they relate to personality research. Other relevant topics include cultural norms of behavior, social structure, social interaction, socio-cultural factors of change and stress, human adaptation, socialization, family dynamics , and in general the effects of socio-culeural environment on the developmental processes of persons, families, and groups. Processes involving adap tive or "normal" behavior are as much of concern as those involving maladaptive or "abnormal" behavior. 2. Mental Disorders and Maladaptive Behavior The mission of the NIMH includes concern for both mental health and mental illness. Proposals are invited for research training in the etiology, diagnosis , psychopathology , treatment, epidemiology, and the prevention of mental disorders and maladaptive behavior in homogeneous and heterogeneous cultural settings. Eligible training proposals may be concerned witch organic and functional disorders involving the nervous system and behavior in general. Areas of special importance are child mental health, schizophrenia, depression and suicide, psychosomatic disorders, and psychoneuroses. Applications are invited for research training to identify life events associated with risk populations and the genetics of mental disorders. Of particular interest is training which combines basic biological, psychological, or socio-cultural research with clinical research training in mental disorders and maladaptive behavior. Research training concerned with measurement in the community of dimensions and distribution of mental disorders in terms of incidence, prevalence , and mortality , and an understanding of the factors associated with differential distribution is encouraged. 3. Social Problems Related to Mental Health Applicaticns are sought for research training in several social problem areas as they relate to mental health: (1) understanding crime and delinquency, individual violence, and law/mental health interactions, 196

Page 5 and evaluating community-based treatment programs for offenders; (2) understanding the relationship between the conditions of urban life, the functioning of communities and families, and the well-being and mental health of the individual; problem areas of special interest are the work situation, economic change, informal helping networks and alternative social forms; (3) understanding minority group concerns including their interest in mental health services, research on planning for the improvement of such services to minority groups, and understanding institutional racism and evaluating intervention programs to alleviate it; and (4) understanding the social and other conditions which encourage sexual attacks; the impact of rape on the victim and the family of the victim; evaluating the effectiveness of laws to prevent and control rape; evaluating the effectiveness of programs to assist the victim and the family of the victim, and programs to treat of fenders . Training in the area of social problems research is often multi- disciplinary in nature. It corers a broad range of research problems, including basic studies of human behavior, intervention studi es concerned with meeting special human needs, and studies on the overall improvement of mental health and social systems. Such problems can be addressed from the level of individual behavior and needs on the one hand, to the level of social institutions and their interactions on the other hand. 4. Mental Health Services Research A major task for the research community is the development of a pool of highly qualified researchers trained to develop, apply, and refine appropriate scientific methodologies for the study of problems related to the delivery of mental health services. Accordingly, applications are sought for research training proposals designed to strengthen and expand the capabilities of researchers for work on theoretical and methodological problems in this area. Encouraged are applications focused on training in: epidemiologic techniques as applied to mental health service systems, to elucidate, for example, the effects of social and economic factors on utilization of services; methods for researching needs assessment and planning approaches, organization, staffing, management, and financing of mental health services as factors affecting, for example, the standards and quality of care, utilization and cost effectiveness; and methods for evaluating the effectiveness of various services in meeting the needs of particular populations or communities. Each of the four general areas described above requires mobilization of both disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches. In essence, the NIGH research training programs support research training in disciplines and substantive areas representing= three disciplinary clusters as they address problems and priorities of concern to its mission which are discussed above: _. . Biological Sciences Psychological Sciences Social Sciences 197

NAT IONAL R ESEA RCH SE RV I CE AWAR DS FOR INDIVIDUAL PREDOCTORAL AND POSTDOCTORAL NURSE FELLOWSHIPS A N N O U N C E M E N T Under authority of Section 472 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended (42 USC 48211, the Division of Nursing provices National Research Service Awards {NRSA) to nurses for predoctoral and postdoctoral training in specified areas of nursing and in biomedical and behavioral fields important to nursing (see list, page 7~. Awards are made to individual applicants, selected in national competition, for specified research training. Such awards are contingent upon the availability of funds, and follow the regulations for National Research Service Awards established by the Public health Service and published in the Federal Register {Code of Federal Regulations, Title 42, Part 66). PAYBACK OR SERVICE PROVISIONS The National Research Service Award Act of 1974 requires satisfactory assurance that a fellow will meet service or payback provisions required under the law as a condition under which a National Research Service Award is made and accepted. No funds will be available to a recipient unless he or she has signed and submitted the Payback Agreement to meet the service and/or payback provisions requ ired u nder the law. PU RPOSE The purpose of the predoctoral and postdoctoral nurse fellowship program is to provide support for doctoral training of professional nurses. Support of qualified nurses for doctoral study will: (1) increase the opportunities for professional nurses to engage in full-time graduate study and research training; (2) prepare professional nurses to conduct independent research, collaborate in interdiscipli- nary research, and stimulate and guide others in nursing research; (3) promote the availability and utilization of nurses with research training in nursing and/or the basic sciences to function as faculty in schools of nursing at undergraduate and graduate levels; and (4) prepare nurses to conduct scientific inquiry in disciplines that have significance for nursing theory and practice. 201

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS Applicants must be citizens or noncitizen nationals of the United States, or have been lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence and have in their possession a permanent visa at time of application. Noncitizen nationals are persons who, although not citizens of the United States, owe permanent allegiance to the United States.

ALLOWAI~'(;E FOR DEPENDENTS An allowance i. s not provided for dependents. ALLOYYAN(;E FOR TRAVEL An allowance is not provided for the cost of travel between the applicant's place of residence and the training institution. ALLOWANCE FOR THE SPONSORING INSTITUTION The non-Federal sponsoring institution, upon request, will be provided with funds of up to S3,000 per 12-month period to defray such expenses as tuition and fees, research supplies, equipment, appropriate medical insurance, travel to scientific meetings, and related items for predoctoral and postdoctoral individ- uals. When the sponsoring institution is ~ Federal laboratory, an allowance of S1,000 is available for the postdoctoral individual to cover the cost of appropriate health insurance and travel to scientific meetings. PERIOD OF SUPPORT No individual navy receive more than 3 years of support in the aggregate under a NRSA. Any exception to this requires a waiver from the Agency head based on review of justification from the applicant and sponsor. Although fellowships are awarded for a 12-month period, assurances may be given by the awarding unit for continued support beyond the first year, provided progress is satisfactory arid funds are available. SELECTION OF AWARDEES Applications will be evaluated by initial'scientific review groups and are also subject to review and action L'y the National Advisory Council on Nurse Training. The applications will be evaluated on the basis of past academic and research records, the research training proposal, the sponsor and training environment, the applicant's research goals, publications, reference reports, and other relevant information. Division of Nursing program interests and the availability of funds are also considered in the final selection. NOTIFICATION OF FINAL ACTION An applicant is renotified by the awarding unit of the final action on. the application by letter. 204

ACTIVATION DATE An awardee has until the end of 12 months from the issue date on the award notice to activate a new award. CONDITIONS OF AWARD A. Payback or Service Agreement No award will be made to an individual unless he or she has signed and submitted the Payback Agreement indicating his or her intent to meet the service or payback provisions required under the law as a condition under which a National Research Service Award is made and accepted. B. The Service or Payback Provisions Within 2 years after completion of the NRSA support, recipients of NRS Awards are to engage in continuous nursing research, or biomedical or behavioral research basic to nursing, or teaching, or any combination thereof which is in accordance with usual patterns of academic employment, for a period equal to the period of support. Alternatively, if the Secretary, HEW, determines there are no suitable health research or teaching positions available to the individua', the following may be authorized: ~ t ) service in the National Health Service Corps, {2) service in his or her speciality in a geographic area designated by the Secretary, or (3) service in his or her speciality in a health maintenance organization searing a medically underserved population. For each year for which an individual receives a NRS Award he or she shall (1) engage in 12 months of health research or teaching, (2) serve 12 months as a member of the National Health Service Corps, or (3) if authorized by the Secretary for one of the other alternatives, shall serve 20 months for each year of award. for individuals who fail to fulfill their obligation through service, the United States is entitled~to recover an amount equal to the total stipend received from the Division of Nursing, plus interest. This amount is computed in accordance with a formula which gives only one~half credit to each month of service when the total payback obligation is not completely fulfilled through service. Interest on the amount begins, and is at the rate fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury considering private consumer rates which prevail, on the date the United States becomes entitled to such amount. Payback must be completed within 3 years from that date. 205

By Federal regulation, there are certain conditions under which the Secretary, I JEW, may extend the period for undertaking service or for repayment, permit breaks in service, or to otherwise waive or suspend the payback obligation of an individual where enforcement of the obligation would involve extreme hardship or be against equity and good conscience. FULL-TIME STUDY PROVISIONS NRS Awards are awarded to applicants for full-time predoctoral and/or postdoctoral study. Applicants engaged in postdoctoral study may utilize some of their time in academic studies and clinical duties if such work is closely related to their research training experience. CONCURRENT BENEFITS A NRSA recipient may not hold another Federally sponsored fellowship concurrently with a National Research Service Award. A research trainee may, however, accept concurrent educational remuneration from the Veterans Administration (e.g., G.l. Bill) and loans from Federal funds. VACATION PERIOD Recipients of NRSA are not entitled to vacations, as such, although those at academic institutions may take the holidays at Christmas, in the spring, etc., and the short period between semesters or quarters. The time between a summer session and a fall semester is considered an active part of tine training period. Those at nonacademic institutions are entitled to the normal holiday and vacation periods of the institution. TAXA81 LITY OF STIPENDS The awarding unit takes no position on the taxability or nontaxability of NRS Awards. No deductions for income tax or social security are ~viti~helci by the awarding unit and no annual summary of amounts paid to the fellow are provided. Recipients of the NRSA are advised to consult focal, State, and Federal revenue services. 206
