Selection NRS grant applications All be evaluated by initial peer review groups at the NIB and are also subject to review Ad approval of the appro- priate advisor council of the NIli whose activities relate to the research training proposed. The application will be evaluated on the basis of records and qualifica- tions of participating faculty, the proposed research training objectives and program design, precarious training record of the program and its ability to attract high caliber students, institutional commitment, facilities and environment, and relationship of the proposed program goals to need for research training fr: NIB program areas. GENERAL PROVISIONS . 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 ITnited States for permanent residence and have in their possession a permanent visa at time of appointment. A non-citizen nation21 is a person who although not a citizen of the '.Tnited States, owes permanent allegiance to the United States. They are generally persons bore in lands which are no. States, but which are under Lluited States sovereignty, jurisdiction, or administration (e.g., American Samoa). Individuals on temporary or student visas are not eligible. Predoctoral trainees must have received as appropriate baccalaureate degree as of the date of appointment to the approved tratn4ng 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.Q., D.V.M., O.D., Sc.D., D.E:~g., D.ti.S., or equi~-21er,t day or foreign degree.

Actual indirect costs or 8% of allowable direct costs, whichever is less, may also be requested. Period of Support Awards for institutional grants may be made for project periods of U? to 5 years. However, no individual may receive more than three years of support in the aggregate from a National Research Serwice Award. Any exception to this requires ~ waiver from the Agency head based on review of justification f ram the trainee and the grantee ins ti tution. Conditions of Award No trainee will be appointed unless he or she has signed and submitted a statement of intent to meet the service or payback provisions required under the law as ~ condition under which a National Research Service Award is made and accepted. Trainee appointments are made for full-~cime research train-. ng and research. Trainees may utilize some of their time in academic s budges 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 eeucational remur~erat" on f ram the Veterans Adminis taxation (e.g., G.~. Bill) and learns from Federal funds. Upon completion o~ the program, recipients of NRS Awards are required to engage in biomedical research or teaching for ~ period equal to the pert od of support. Alternatively, ~'~ the Secretory, DEER', determines there are no suitable health research or teaching post tio~.s available to the individual, the following may be authorized: (1) If the individual is ~ physician, dentist, nurse, or other indict dual trained to provide health care directly to patients, the Secreted- may authorize (a) service in the National Health Service Cc ups, (b) service in his or her specialty In G geographic area designated by the Secretary, or (c) service in the s?e.~a~ty in a health maintenance organization serving ~ medically undeserved popu" ation. (2) If the individual-who received the INS Aware is not trained to provide health care to patients, the Secretary ray authorize Ache index Gradual to engage in some other he~lth-related activity. For each year for which an individual receives a KRS Ward he car she shall (a) engage in twettte months of health research or teaching, ebb serve Delve months as a member of the National Eesith 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 NIlI plus interest in accordance with a formula which gives one-half credit to months actually sensed in the computation of the payback deb t. ~ 45

Page Four The Secretary shall by regulation provide for the waiver or suspension of any payback obligation to ~ individual whenever compliance by the Dual is impossible or would involve extreme hardship to the individual and if enforcement of the individual's obligation would be against equity Ed good conscience. Trainees are not entitled to vacations, as such, although Lose at academy c institutions may take the holidays at Christmas, in the Spring, etc., and the short period between semesters or quarters. The time between a s'' er session and a fall semes ter ~ s consi dered ~ active part of the training period. Those at non-academic institutions are entitled to the normal holiday and vacation periods of the institution. Taxability of stipends NIB takes no position on the taxability or non-taxability of National Research Service Award stipends. Recipients of the NRS Hard stipend are advised to consult local, State and Federal revenue services. 146 .:

(ATTACHMENT ) ALCOHOL, DRUG ABUSE, AND MENIAL HEALTH ADMINISTRATION National Research Service Award Program Individual Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Awards ADAMHA PRIORITY AREAS This issuance sets forth interim priorities for ADAMHA programs which will be applicable until an ongoing study of research manpower needs is developed (in accordance with the authorizing legislations. Awards will be made by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the National Institute of Mental Health. Priority Areas Priority areas in which the three Institutes of the Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Mental Health Administration will offer awards are defined in terms of substantive areas in which research manpower is needed. Some illustrative examples are given of research in each of these priority areas, along with examples of professions, disciplines and approaches to be emphasized in order to meet these research manpower needs. Applications will be considered for research training which would meet needs in several of these priority areas, such as in the areas of therapy, child abuse and polydrug use. Presentation of research areas is not in order of priority. Nat' anal Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcohol' sm Prevention Research is needed on prevention and education focusing on such areas as theories and approaches to prevention, drinking patterns among teenagers and youths and other issues related to prevention and education. Relevant disciplines for training include the various social and behavioral sciences, such as anthropology, epidemiology, psychiatry, psychology, social work and sociology. Emphasis will be on research training in the problems of alcoholism for scientists An these disciplines. 171

2 ^ Early Identification Another priority research area is prevention by means of early identification. Among relevant disciplines are anthropology, behavioral genetics, economics, personality psychology and social psychology. Research training in such disciplines will be provided for research clinicians and behavioral scientists. - Organizational Change Research training in the area of organizational change (that is, how to make institutions and communities sensitive to the needs of alcoholic people) could include such disciplines as industrial psychology, organizational psychology, sociology, social psychology and urban planning. Emphasis will be on research training for specialists in such disciplines as they relate to alcoholism. Financing Alcohol Services Specialists are needed to examine long-term costs of alcoholism, third party payments, and health service systems. Among relevant disciplines are health economics, health planning, political science, systems analysis and operations research. Etiology Researchers trainee to study genetic and social factors influencing alcohol tolerance and alcoholism are needed to provide a better understanding of alcoholism problems. Support will be provided to behavioral geneticists and social scientists or individuals desiring such training for work in this field. - Treatment Evaluation In the area of treatment, research is needed to determine effective interventions appropriate to various alcoholic populations. Relevant disc:- plines for research training include clinical psychology and social science disciplines. Emphasis will be placed on research training for clinical- a~ministrators, clinical research training for social scientists. National Institute an Drug Abuse - Biomedical Science Studies Research training will emphasize studies in the biomedical sciences relevant to drug abuse In particular, training is needed for researchers to ~mmunopharmacology, molecular pharmacology, and neuropharmacology of abused substances. 172

3 Etiology Research is also needed on complex behavioral, biological and societal factors involved in the etiology of drug abuse.
