Under authority of Section 472 of the Public Health Service Act as amended ( 42 USC 289~-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 biomedical and behavioral research. Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 66, is applicable to these awards e Domestic nonprofit private or public institutions may apply for grants to support research training programs. Predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees may be supported if either or both levelts ~ of training are justified in the application and approved. The applicant institute on 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 overaQ 1 direction of the program. The proposed program must encompass supervised biomedical or behavioral research and offer opportunity for research training leading to the research degree, or, for those who have already attained the research degree, opportunity to broaden their scientific background. For those who have attained the health professional degree the supervised research should be accompanied by training in scientific methodology; this may be a part: of a research degree program. National Research Service Awards (NRSA ~ will not support study leading to the M . D., D. O ., D. D. S ., or other similar professional degrees, nor will they support residency training. 101 ':

Application material. Acolication material may be obtained from the (rants Inquiries Office, Division of Research (rants, National Institutes of Health g Bethesda, Maryland 20014. A self-addressed gummed mailing label enclosed in the :~quest for kits will expedite handI;ngO Applicants are advised to contact the person des ;gnated in the attachment to discuss any questions, and especially if 1 ~ an application including predoctoral training is planned, or 2 ~ compatibility between institutional and agency training aims is In doubt. Review and selection. NRSA grant applications will be evaluated by initial review groups at the NIH; they are also subj ect to review and approval by the appropriate advisory council of the NIH. Me application will be evaluated on the teas is of records and qualifications of participate ng faculty, the proposed research training objectives and program design, previous train ~ ng record of the program and its ability to attract high caliber students, institutional commitment g facilities and environment, and relationship of the proposed program goals to need for research personnel. GENERAL PROV I S I ONS E1 igib' 1 Sty requirements. Individuals appointed as trainees on the grant must be citizens or non-citizen nationals of the United States, or must have been lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence and have in their possession an Alien Registration Receipt Card (I-151 or I- S5 1 ) 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 StatesO They are generally persons born in lands which are not States ~ but which are under United States sovere, gnty, jurisd~ ction g or administration ~ e . g . American Samoa ~ . Indiv' duals on temporary or student visas are not eligible. Predoctora~ trainees must have received an appropriate bacca~ aureate 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.~.S., or equivalent domestic or foreign degree. Certificate on by an authorized offs cial of the degree granting institution that al ~ degree requirements have been met is also acceptable . 102

St ~ pends and other tra In inq costs. Stipends and allowances requested will be as follows: At the predoctoral level the annual stipend ~ s $3,900. For postdoctorals, the stipend for the first year of support is determined by the number of years of prior relevant postdoctoral experience at time of appointment in accordance with the accompany' ng table . Relevant experience may include research experience ~ including industrial I, teaching, internship, residency, or other time spent in full-time pursuit of. additional degrees or full-time studies ~ n 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 of the first year plus $400 for each additional year under the National Research Service Award. There is no allowance for dependents. Postdoctoral Stipends - ~ .

Trainees supported under institutional grants are not considered to be employees either of the PHS or of the grantee Institution . Tuition and travel for trainees may be requested. Tuition at the postdoctoral level is limited to that required for specified courses. The institution may request tuition and fees ~ including appropriate health insurance ~ only to the extent that the same resident or nonresident tuition and fees are charged to regular non-Federally supported students. Ire institution may also request actual indirect costs or 8% of allowable e direct costs (whichever is less ~ and up to 25% of the total award for costs deemed essential to carry out the NRSA training program such as salaries, equipment, research supplies, staff travel, etc. Pe r i od of suppor t . Awards for inst' tutional grants may be made for project periods of up to 5 years. No trainee may receive more than 5 years of aggregate NRSA support at the predoctoral level and 3 years of aggregate NRSA support at the postdoctoral level. Any exception to this requires a waiver from the Agency head based on review of justification from the trainee and the grantee institution. 103

Cond i ~ ions of award . Trainees, before they can receive a National Research Service Award under an NRSA Institutional Grant g must sign an agreement that they will fulfi 11 the payback requirements des cribed below Institutions shall notify prospective trainees of the payback requirements no later than the time an appointment at the institution is offered. The institution must submit a Statement of Appointment form along with the signed Pay back Agreement each time a trainee is appointed or reappointed to the grant (usually every 12 months ~ . At the end of the total support period for an individual trainee, the inst ~tution must submit a Terrrr&nation iVot~ce form to NIH . Failure to submit the required forms ~ n a timely fashion may result in an expenditure disallowance. Trainee appointments are made for full-time research and research training. Health professional postdoctorals may utilize some of the' r time in clinical duties only if such work is part of the research- training. A NRSA award may not be held concurrently with another Federally sponsored fellowship or similar Federal award which provides a stipend or otherwise duplicates provisions of the NRS award O NRSA recipients may s however, accept concurrent educational remuneration from the Veterans Administration (e . g. G. I . Bill ~ and loans from Federal funds. Supplementation of the MRSA stipend from non-Federal funds is permitted. Other Federal funds may be used for supplementation only if explicitly authorized by the program from which such funds are derived. No NIH, ADAMHA, or HRA grant feds may be used for supplementation . This is not intended to discourage in any way the use cuff Federal loan funds. This additional support may be provided without obligation by the trainee or may be conditioned on his or her performance of certain services such as teaching or serving as a laboratory assistant. Under no circumstances, however, may the service reg uirements detract from or prolong the training . Trainees are not entitled to vacations, as such, although those at academic institute ons may take the holidays at Christmas 9 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 institutions are entitled to the normal holiday and vacation periods of the institution. Payback requ' remeet. Within two years after completion of NRSA support, recipients of NRS Awards are to engage in continuous health-related biomedical or behavioral research or ten ching or when in academi c employment, any combination thereof which is ~ n accordance with usual patterns of such employment. Alternatively, if the Secretary, DREW, 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 ~ 04

physician, dentist, nurse, or other individual trained to provide health care directly to patients, the Secretary may authorize (a) service in the National Health Service Corps, or (b) service in his or her specialty in a health maintenance organization serving a medically underserved population; ~ 2 ~ If the individual who received the NRS Award is not trained to provide health care to patients, the Secretary may authorize the individual to engage in some other health-related activity. The period of service shall equal the period of support under both regular and alternative payback service. For individuals who fail to fulfill their obligation through service, the United States is entitled to recover an amount equal to the total amount of stipends paid to the individual plus interest. the amount is computed in accordance with a formula which gives full credit to each month of service performed. Interest on the amount begins on the date the United States becomes entitled to such amount; it is computed at a rate fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury considering private consumer rates prevailing on that date. Payment must be completed within three years. 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 otherwise waive or suspend the payback obligation of an individual where enforcement of the obligation would involve substantial hardship and be against equity and good conscience * This statement of payback requirements reflects legislative changes enacted November 9, 1978. ~ Taxability of stipends. Section 161(b) of the Revenue Act of 1978, states that ~ 1) any amount paid to, or on behalf of, an individual froTn appropriated funds as a National Research Service Award under section 472 of the Public Health Service Act shall be treated as a scholarship or fellowship grant under section 117 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 and (2) the provisions of subsection (b) shall apply to awards made during calendar years 1974 through 1979. Section 117 is that part of the Internal Revenue Code which applies to the tax treatment of all scholarships and fellowships . In general, it provides that, sot ject to certain limitations, degree candidates may exclude the full amount of their scholarships or fellowships from their gross income for purposes of taxation, and non-degree candidates may exclude up to $300 a month of such awards for up to 36 months. It must be emphasized that the interpretation and implementation of the tax laws are the domain of the ~ eternal Revenue Service and the courts . 105

PHS takes no pos iron on what this provis ion may mean for a particular taxpayer g Ed it does not have the author) ty to dispense tax advice O Individuals should consult their local IRS office about the applicability of the new law to their situations and for information on the proper steps to be taken regarding their tax obligations. Notification of final actions The applicant will be notified by the awarding . unit of the final action on the application by either an award notice or by a letter.

Those at non-academic institutions are entitled to the normal holiday and vacation periods of the lust itution . 115

PaYback reau i remen t . Within two Rears after completion of NRSA support, recipe ents of NRS Awards are to engage in continuous biomedical or behavioral research or teaching or when in academic employment any combination thereof which is in accordance with usual patterns of such employment for a period equal to the period of support. Alternatively g ~ f the Secretary, DREW, determines there are no suitable health research or teaching positions available to the individual, the followings may be authorized: ( 1 ) If the individual is a physician g dentist, nurse, or other individual trained to prove de health care directly to patients, the Secretary may authorize (a ~ service in the National Health Service Corps, or (b ~ service in his or her specialty in a health maintenance organization serving a medically underserved Opus ation; ~ 2 ~ If the ind' vidual who received the NRS Award ~ s not trained to provide health care to patients, the Secretary may author, ze the individual to engage in some other health-related active ty. The period of service shall equal the period of support under both regular and alternate ve payback serve ce . For individuals who fail to fulfill their owls Cation through service g the United States is entitled to recover an amount equal to the sum of the total amount paid to the individual plus i merest . The amount is computed in accordance with a formula which gives full credit to each month of service perform red. 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 obligate on would involve substantial hardship and be against equity and good conscience. ~ This statement of payback requirements reflects legislative changes enac Led November 9, 1979. ~ Taxab' 1 ity of stipends.

NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts God c B. No, ~ 3? Octqber 26, ~ 979 NATIONAL RESEARCH SERVICE AWARDS . . _ FOR SHORT-TERM TRAINING: STUDENTS IN HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS C 0 3 ,~'r' There has been recent evidence of a disturbing decline in the number of students in health professional schools who are interested in research careers. To help arrest or reverse this trend, the National Institutes of Health would like to take advantage of the November 1978 amendments to the National Research Service Award (NRSA) Act, P.L. 95-622, which encourage short-term research trading. Individuals receding sesearch training awards of up to three months duration are not subject to a pay- back provision under this program. Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 66, is applicable to these awards. Io PURPOSE The National Institutes of Health announces a new program to expose ~ . . _ . ~ talented students in health professional schools to she opportunities Inherent in a research career. The program is des igned to amel iorate the future shortage of clinical investigators by attracting highly qualified professional students into biomedical and behavioral research careers O ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS A. Applicant Institut ions Domestic nonprofit private or public schools of medicines osteopathy, dentistry, veterinary medicines optometry, pharmacy and podiatry may apply for grants to support chart-term research training for students In health professional schools for discrete periods of up to three monthsO The applicant institution must have the staff and facilities required for the proposed program. Only one application per health prof essional school will be accepted O B. . Tra inees The training institution wit ~ be responsible for the selection and appointment of trainees. Trainees must have successfully completed at least one semester at an accredited school of medicine, osteopath>, dentistry, veterinary medicine, optometry, pharmacy or podiatry prior to participating in the program. NRSA awards cannot be used to sup- port courses which are required for the M.D. ~ D.O., D.D.S., D.V.M. Or other similes professional degrees. 122

Individuals .~upointed as trainees on the grant must be citizens or noncitizen nationals of the United States, or must have in their possession an Alien Registration Receipt Card (I-151 or I-551) at time of appointment. Noncitizen nationals are Individuals ~o, although not citizens of the United States, owe permanent allegiance to the United States. They are generally persons born in lands which are not states but which are under Ignited States sovereignty, jurisdiction, or administration (e.g. American Samoa). Individuals on temporary or student visas are not eligible. III. PROGRAM ELEMENTS llach institution is invited to develop a proposal is response to this announcement that is best suited to its oQ strengths and characteristics. The goal is to identify a cadre of exceptional students with the potential to pursue careers in biomedical asked behavioral research. The training program director should have a demonstrated record of success ~ conducting research and in working with research trainees. Each pro- posal should deacrlbe a plan for widely advertising the program through- out the school to :~sure active competition for places in the participat- ing laboratories as well as a reasonable means of selecting only students with a genuine interest in exploring a research career. Spec - 1 attention should be glees to the recruitment of minority students and women. No grants will be made for fewer than four, nor more than thirty-two, students per year. ~- The overall training is not necessarily restricted to activities ~ a single discipl~e or department. The choice of participating trading sites and mentors should be carefully described to show that the insti- tution's best environments and role models have been selected. It is expected that students will be assigned to the is~stitution's strongest research and research training programs. Bach institution why be expected to encourage among the trainees- a cerise of belonging to a community of scientists. Among the methods that may be used is providing a special seminar series addressing such topics as research methodology, tnstn~menta~cion, experimental design, etc. A plan for assessing the "pact of the program on both the institution and the trainee is highly desirable. TV. ~PLI=UON PROCESS A. Anolication Form The application form for Institutional Training Grants (PHS 6025) should be used. 810ck 1, Title of Proposal, should read Short-Term Training: Students In Health Professional Schools.

Subject to availability of funds and to periodic modification of research areas, applications for institutional research training grants wit] be accepted by ADAMHA under receipt dates of February i, June 1, and October ]. AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE: Under authority of Section 472 of the Public Health Service Act as amended (42 USC 2891-~), the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration (ADAMHA) will award grants to eligible institutions to develop or enhance research training opportunities for individuals selected by them who are training for careers in specified areas of biomedical and behavioral research. (See Attachment for de- scription of these areas.) Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 66, is app] i cable to these awards . This announcement supersedes al l previous program announcements, guidelines, or other connnunications regarding the ADPMHA National Research Service Awards program, except for the "Guidelines for National Research Service Awards" issued jointly by the National Institutes of Health, ADAMHA, and the Health Resources Administration. Should supplementary guidelines be necessary in the future, they will be issued only by the Office of the Administrator, ADAMHA or by the Director of an Institute. This announcement contains only minor changes from the July-, 7978 announcement, and these are principally to reflect modifications in legislative and administrative requi remeets. 127

[aAlLABtE'TY OF FUN35: In Fiscal Year 197S, 226 institutional grants were funded by ADAMHA Institutes for a total of $14.6 million. Of these awards, 42 were for new and competing extension (renewal) app] i cations, for a total of $2 c ~ mi ~ ~ ion. Avai ~ abi ~ i ty and amount of funds for future years is contingent upon annual appropriations. LEVELS OF TRAINING: Applications will be accepted for predoctoral and/or postdoctoral research training. However, based on findings and recommendations from national manpower studies, ADAMHA is redirecting the emphas i s i n i ts res earch trai ni ng programs from predoctoral to post- doctoral support. Accordingly, applications for predoctoral training must include information on the need for training at that level in the particular research areats) to be encompassed by the proposed · - . training program. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: Domestic public or non-profit private institutions may apply for institutional grants to support research training programs in areas of research specified in this announcement (see Attachment). The applicant institution must have, or be able to devel op. the staff and faci l i ties to provi de the proposed research training in a suitable environment for performing high-quality work. The training program director at the institution will be responsible for selection and appointment of individuals to receive National Research Service (NRS) Awards and for the overall direction of-the research training program. The training program must provide opportunities for individual awardees selected by the institution to carry out supervised research in the specified areas with the primary objective of extending thei r s ki ~ ~ s an ~ know] edge . ~ ndi vi dual s se] ected by the program di rector to be reci pi ents of NRS Awards 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 an Alien Registration Receipt Card (~-~] or I-551) at the time of appointment to the training program. Non-citizen nationals are persons born in lands which are not States, but which are under U.S. sovereignty, jurisdiction, or administration (e.g., American Samoa). Individuals on temporary or student visas are not eligible. Predoctoral individuals selected to receive NRS Awards must have completed two or more years of graduate work at the time of appointment to the NRSA training program. Postdoctoral individuals selected to receive NRS Awards mus t have recei ved 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 as of the date of appointment to the NRSA training program. Certification by an authorized official of the degree granting institution that all degree 128

requirements have been met is also acceptable. National Research Service Awards are not made for study leading to the M.D., D.O., D.D.S., or other similar professional degrees, or for study which is part of residency training leading to a medical specialty. However, an NRS Ward may support a specified period of full-time research training for a health professional who intends to pursue a research career, even if that period of training may be creditable toward specialty board certi fi cati on. STIPENDS AND OTHER TRAINING COSTS: The annual stipend for predoctoral i ndi vi dual s at al 1 1 evel s i s $3 ,900 . For postdoctoral individuals the stipend for the first year is determined by the number of years of prior relevant postdoctoral experience at the time of appointment. Relevant 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 subsequent year of support is based on the level of the first year plus $400 for each additional year under a National Research Service Award.

The stipend is not a payment for s ervi ces performed. Trai nees are not cons i dered to be employees either of PUS or their sponsoring institution. 129

Supplementation of the NRSA -' spend from non-Federal funds is permitted. Other Federal funds may be used for supplementation only if explicitly authorized by the program Pro,,' which such funds are derived. No ADAMHA NTH, or HRA grant funds may be used for supplementation. This is not intended to discourage in any way the use of Federal loan funds O This additional support may be provided without obligation by the trainee or may be conditioned on his or her performance of certain services such as teaching or serving as a laboratory assistant. Under no circumstances, however, may the service requirements detract from or prolong the training. In addition to stipends, the institution may request funds for tuition, -fees and certain types of travel for trainees; actual indirect costs or 8% of allowable direct costs (whichever is Messy to cover related institutional overhead; and up to 25% of the total award for other related costs (salaries, equipment, research supplies, etc.) which are deemed essential to carry out the program of training for the National Research Service Awardees appointed under the grant. Funds for such "other related costs" are intended to provide the institution with only partial support for the costs of developing or maintaining a high quality environment for the proposed research training and for meeting the costs of trainee researchO Tuition at the postdoctoral level is limited to that required for specified courses. PERIOD OF SUPPORT: Awards for institutional grants may be made for project periods of up to five years. By law, an individual may receive no more than 5 years of support in the aggregate at the predoctoral level and 3 years of support in the aggregate at the postdoctoral level under the NRSA program (through an i ndi vi dual and/or i ns ti tuti onal award) . Any except) on to these ~ ~ mi tati ons requires a waiver from the Director of the awarding Institute based on review of justification from the awardee and the program director for the i nsti tuti onal grant. Length of predoctoral s upport ~ s al so affected by eligibility requirements stated elsewhere in this announcement (i.e., the requirement for 2 years graduate work) CONDITIONS OF AWARD: Before a trainee can be appointed to an NRSA institutional grant and receive an NRS Award under the grant' he or she must meet NRSA eligibility requirements, and sign a Payback Agreement indicating his or her intent to meet the payback provisions required under the law (see below). Institutions shall notify prospective trainees of this provision prior to or at the time an appointment is offered. The institution must submit to ADAMHA a Statement of Appointment form (PUS 2274) along with the signed Payback Agreement each time a trainee is appointed or reappointed to the grant (us ua1ly every l2 months). At the end of the tote] support peri od for an i ndi vi dual trai nee, the i nsti tution must submit a Ter7ni nation Noti ce form to ADAMHA. Fai ~ ure 130

to s ubmi ~ the requi red forms i n a ti me] i' ~ s -` on may res u] ~ i n an expenditure disallowance. No funds for tu'+icn, fees, or trainee travel costs may be provided from an institutional hiRSA grant to, or on behalf of, any individual unless that individual -,s receiving a stipend under the NRSA grant. National Research Service Awards provided co individuals under institutional grants are made for full-time research training. Awardees may uti ~ i ze some of thei r time i n course s Audi es and c] i ni Cal duti es i f such work is closely related to and necessary for the research training experience. No appointment for less than nine months may be made without the prior approval of the ADAMHA awarding unit. An NRS award recipient may not be held concurrently with another Federal~y-sponsored fellowship or similar Federal award which provides a stipend or otherwise duplicates provisions of the NRS award. An awardee may, however, accept concurrent educational remuneration from the Veterans Administration (e.g., G.~. Bill) and loans from Federal funds. Awardees in academic institutions are not entitled to vacations as such. They are, however, enti tl ed to the normal s hort s tudent ho] i days observed by their training institution. The time between a summer session and.the fall semester is to be utilized as an active part of the training period. Awardees in non-academic institutions are entitled to the holiday and vacation schedule applicable to all trainees at the institution. PAYBACK REQUIREMENT: Within two years after completion of NRSA support, individual recipients of NRS Awards are to engage, for a period equal to the period of support, in continuous, hea~th-related, biomedical or behavioral research or teaching, or any combination thereof. When in academic employment, such research or teaching may be in any combination in accordance with the usual patterns of academic employment. alternatively, if the Secretary, HEW, determines there are no suitable health research or teach i ng posi ti ons aYai ~ ate] e to the i ndi vi dual , the fo] ~ owi ng may be authorized: (~) If the individual is a physician, dentist, nurse, or other indi vi dua] trained to provi de heal th care di rectly to patients, the Secretary may authorize (a) service in the National Health Service Corps, or (b) service in his or her specialty in a health maintenance organization serving a medically underserved population, or (2) If the individual who received the NRS Award is not trained to provide health care to patients, the Secretary may authorize the individual to engage in some other health-related activity. The period of service shal] equal the period of support under both regular and alternative payback servi ce. For i ndi vi dual s who fai ~ to fu] fi ~ ~ thei r fu] ~ servi ce ob] i gati on, the United States is entitled to recover an amount equal to the tote] amount pal ~ to the i n di vi dual from the i ns ti tuti one] grant, pi us i nteres t . The amount is computed in accordance with a formula which gives full credit 131

to total months actually served. 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. Financial payback must be completed within three years from that date O By Federal Regulation, there are certain conditions under which the Secretary, HEW9 may extend the period for undertaking service or for financial payback, penTit breaks in services or otherwise waive or suspend the payback obligation to an individual where enforcement of the obligation would involve substantial hardship and be against equity and good conscience. TAXABILITY OF STIPENDS: Section 161(b) of the Revenue Act of 1978, states that (~) any amount paid to, or on behalf of, an individual from appropriated funds as a National Research Service Award under section 472 of the Public Health Service Act shall be treated as a scholarship or fellowship grant under section ll7 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 and ( 2 ) the provi s i ons of s ubs ecti on ( b ) s hal l appl y to awards made duri ng Cal ender years ~ 974 through ~ 979 O Section 117 is that part of the Internal Revenue Code which applies to the tax treatment of all scholarships an] fellowships. In general, it provides that, subject to certain iimitations9 degree candidates may exclude the full amount of their scholarships or fellowships from their gross income for purposes of taxation, and non-degree candidates may exclude up to $300 a month of such awards for up to 36 months. It must be emphasized that the interpretation and implementation of the tax laws are the domain of the Internal Revenue Service and the courts. PH5 takes no position on what this provision may mean for a particular taxpayer, and it does not have the authority to dispense tax advice. Individuals should consult their local TRS office about the applicability of the new law to their situations and for information on the proper steps to be taken regarding their tax obligations. REVIEW PROCESS AND REVIEW CRITERIA: Applications for institutional grants are evaluated for scientific/technical merit by ADAMHA initial review groups and also are subject to the review and recommendations of the appropriate ADAMHA Advisory Council. Applications will be evaluated on the basis of records and qualifications of participating faculty, the proposed research objectives and program design, the criteria to be employed in selecting individuals to receive NRS Awards, previous training record of the program and its ability to attract high caliber students, institutional con~nitments, facilities and environment, and relationship of the proposed program goals to need for research training in ADAMHA program areas. 132

FUNDING CRITERIA: Awarding components select applications for funding primarily on the basis of merit review results, but other factors which may be considered include availability of funds, priority on postdoctoral support, program priorities as indicated in the research areas specified in this announcement, and grants policy requirements.

May 1979 ATTACHMENT ALCOHOL, DRUG ABUSE, AND MENTAL HEALTH ADMINISTRATION National Research Service Awards Program Research Areas for Indi vi dual and I nsti tutional 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 teens of substantive and problem areas for which research manpower is needed, and examples are included of profes- sions, 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 determinants of alcoholism and on the treatment and rehabilitation of alcoholics and alcohol abusers. The research program has as its main goals the reduction of the incidence and prevalence of alcohol abuse and alcoholism, and the reduction of the morbidity and mortality associated with alcohol use, abuse and alcoholism. Research training support may be obtained for the totality of research and disciplinary areas ranging from basic biochemical and biomedical research to psychosocial and anthropological research. At present, however, the highest priority for funding under the NRSA pro- gram is in social, behavioral, clinical, and treatment research training involving such disciplines as sociology, psychology, anthropology, epidemiology, and health economics. The specific foci of the program are indicated below. i. Development of Behavior Research training is provided for the study of processes relating to the Revel opulent of al coho] i sin and al cohol abuse . These studi es may i nc] ude exami nati on of teas i c hi o] ogi Cal processes . Of parti cud ar interest at the present time are studies of genetic factors in the development of alcoholism. However, priority will be given to applications in the psycho-social disciplines; e.g., social factors wh i ch may i nf] uence use of al coho] , parti cud arly i n youths ; and i n the development of alcohol problems. 2. Disorders and Maladaptive Behavior The N lAAA emphasi zes res earch trai ni ng red ated to the probe ems of alcoholism and excessive alcohol use, including related medical and 135

behavior disorders. Proposals are invited for research training in the etiology, diagnosis, treatment, epidemiology, and prevention of alcoholism and alcohol-related problems. Eligible training proposals may be con ° corned with such issues as early differential diagnosis of alcoholism, both from other related diseases as weld as defining better the distinct tion between chronic heavy drinking and alcoholism itself, association between alcohol and other disorders such as heart disease, cancer or depression; efficacy of new and established treatments for various sub- populations; fete] alcohol syndrome, occupational alcoholism; and improved prevention strategies. Be Social Issues Relating to Alcoholism and Alcohol Problems The NIAAA places high priority on minorities9 youth, and women9 and seeks research training applications related to these populations. Areas of interest include, for example, cultural patterns in use and abuse of alcohol, special service needs and problems of these populations. Research training proposals may address legal political science, and economic aspects of various social issues redated to alcoholism, in addi- Lion to psychological and sociological aspects. Examples of areas for which research training support might be provided include the effects of legislation (drinking-driving laws, alcoholic beverage control laws9 drinking age, etc. ~ on patterns and trends in occurrence of alcoholism 4. Servi ces Research There is 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 (for example, minorities or occupational alcoholism programs); epidemiologic techniques as applied to alcoholism service delivery systems, to elucidates for example, the effects of social and economic factors on the 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. Nati onal I ns ti tute on Drug Ab us e l. Development of Behavior Research training will emphasize the development of scientific expertise in behavioral pharmacology, molecular pharmacology, neuro- pharmacology, irr~nunopharmacoJogy, and endocrine pharmacology as these 136

disciplines relate to mechanisms underlying the development of substance abuse behaviors. There is also a need to train scientific personnel for basic and applied research in the following areas: analytical chemistry, chemi Cal synthes i s , pharmacoki neti cs , an ~ quan ti tati ve s tructure acti vi ty relationships. Additional expertise is needed in the areas of behavioral genetics and pharmacogenetics as they red ate to the addictive process. Specialists are also sought in human personality formation, psychological development, the socialization process, and their interrelationships with addictive life styles. 2. Disorders and Maladaptive Behavior There is need to develop research expertise on complex 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 behavioral and social scientists in experimental and field analysis of social behavior. Parti cul ar emphasi s i s pi aced on trai ni ng of behavi ore] and soci al 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 sub- stances. Training also is needed to enable scientists to assess the safety and efficacy 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 sub- stance 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. Soci al ~ s s ues Re ~ ati n g to A] cohol, Drug Ab use, an ~ Mental Heal tt 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 different cultures and groups. 4. Servi ces Research Training is needed for social and behavioral scientists to design and execute evaluations of current programs of treatment or prevention. 137

National Institute of Mental Health The research objective of NIMH is to better understand 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: (~) 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 missions Development of Behavior As behavior is determined by biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors, proposals will be accepted for research training in disciplinary or interdisciplinary settings concerned with these detent i nants . The development and mai ntenance of mental heal th through- out the entire lifespan of the individual is of concern, with special focus on childhoods adolescence, and old age. Applications concernedwith such areas as behavioral genetics9 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 influ- ence of psychotropic drugs on these processes and the~~nechanisms of action are of special concern to NIMH. 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. Propos al s are al so i nvi ted i n the areas of soci al and cogn i ti ve 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-cu1tural factors of change and stress, human adaptations socialization, family dynamics, and in general the effects of socio-cultural environment on the developmental processes of persons, families, and groups. Processes involving adaptive or "normal" behavior are as much of concern as those involving maladaptive or "abnormal" behavior. 2. Mental Di sorders and Mal adapt) ve Behavi or The mission of the NIMH includes concern for both mental health and mental illness. Proposals are invited for research training in the eti ol ogy, di agnos i s, psychopathol ogy , treatment, epi demi o l ogy , an d the p re ven t i on of me n ta l d i so rders an d ma ] ad apt i ve beh avi or i n homogeneous and heterogeneous cultural settings. 138

Eligible training proposals may be concerned with organic and functional disorders involving the nervous system and behavior in gen- era-~. Areas of special importance are child mental health problems, mental disorders in later life, 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 inter- est is training which combines basic biological, psychological, or s oci o-cu] tural research wi th c] i ni Cal research trai n i ng i n 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 understand) ng of the factors associ ated wi th di fferenti a] distribution i s encouraged. 3. Social Problems Related to Mental Health Applications are sought for research training in several social problem areas as they relate to mental health: (~) understanding crime and delinquency, individual violence, and law/mental health interactions, and - ~ ~ ~ ~ - ~ ~ I (2) evaluating coTrnun~ty-based treatment programs tor oTTenaers; understanding the relationship between the conditions of urban life, the functioning of corr~nunities and mental health of the individual; and fami ~ i es , and the we] ~ -bed ng 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 understand- ing institutional racism and evaluating intervention programs to alleviate it; (4) social policy and social problems in mental health and aging; and (5) 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 offenders. Trai ni ng i n the area of soci al prob] ems research i s often mu] ti - disciplinary in nature. It covers a broad range of research problems, including basic studies of human behavior, intervention studies 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 Heal th Servi ces 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. 139

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, particularly as regards mental health services for children, the e1derly9 and minorities. Encouraged are applications focused on training in: epidemiologic techniques as applied to mental health service systems, to elucidates 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 examples 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 O The general research areas described above (deveJopment of behaviors mental disorders and maladaptive behavior, social problems redated to mental health and mental health services research) require the mobili~ zation of both disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches O Accord- ing~y9 the Institute provides support for research training which addresses the Droblems and Driorities discussed above through such . . . disciplines as the following: Biological Sciences: This area consists primarily of: Behavioral Genetics Biological Anthropology Neurobehavioral Sciences Neuroanatomy Neurophysiology Neuropsychology Neuroendocrinology Neurochemistry Psycho-NeuropharmacoJogy Ethology Psychological Sciences: This cluster consists primarily of: Child and Developmental (life span) Social, Environmental, and Ecological Sensory Processes, Perception, and Cognition Human Learning, Memory and Performance Comparative and Animal Behavior Phys i of ogical and Bi opsychol ogy Experi mental Psychopatho] ogy and Person al i ty Eval uati on/Pod i cy Research 140

AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE: Under authority of Section 472 of the Public Health Service Act as amended (42 USC 2891-~), the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration (ADAMHA) provides National Research Service Awards to individuals for research training experiences in specified areas of biomedical and behavioral research. (See Attachment for description of these areas.) Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 66, is applicable to these awards. This announcement supersedes all previous program announcements, guidelines, or other comnunications regarding the ADAMHA National Research Service Awards program except for the "Guidelines for National Research Service Awards" issued jointly by the National Institutes of Health, ADAMHA, and the Health Resources Administration. Should supplementary guidelines be necessary in the future, they will be issued only by the Office of the Administrator, ADAMHA or by the Director of an Institute. This announcement contains only minor changes from the July, 1978 announce- ment, and these are principally to reflect modifications in legislative and administrative requirements. 142

AVAlLABlLITY OF FUNDS: In Fiscal Year 1978, 231 fellowships were funded for ~a total of $-2.3 million. Of cheese, 98 were for new or competing extension (renewal) appl~cat'.ons' for a total of $~.] million. Availability and amount of funds for future years is contingent upon annual appropri ations . LEVELS OF TRAINING: Applications will be accepted for predoctoral or postdoctoral research training. However, based on findings and recorr'Tendations from national manpower studies, ADAMHA is redirecting the emphasis in its programs from predoctora] to postdoctoral support. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: Applicants 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 an Al i en Regi s trati on Recei pt Card ~ ~ - ~ 51 or ~ - 551 ~ at ti me of app] i cati on . Non-citizen nationals are persons born in lands which are not States, but which are under U.S. sovereignty, jurisdiction, or administration (e.g., American Samoa). Individuals on temporary or student visas are not el i gi b] e. A predoctoral applicant must have completed two or more years of graduate work as of the proposed activation date of the fellowship. A pQSt- doctora] applicant must have received a Ph.D., M.D., D.D.S., D.O., D.V.M., O.D., Sc.D., D.Eng., D.N.S., or equivalent degree as of the proposed activation date of the fellowship. Certification by an authorized official of the degree granting institution that all requirements have been met is also acceptable. Applicants must propose research training in specified research areas (see Attachment). The program offers an opportunity to scientists, research clinicians, etc., to carry out supervised research in these areas, with the primary purpose of extending their skills and knowledge. National Research Service (NRS) Awards are not made for study leading to the M.D., D.O., D.D.S., or similar professional degrees, or for study which is part of residency training leading to a medical specialty. However, an NRS Award may support a specified period of full-time research training for a health professional who intends to pursue a research career, even if that period of training may be credi tab] e toward speci al ty board certi fi cati on Prior to formal submission, an applicant must arrange for appointment to an appropriate institution and acceptance by a sponsor who will supervise the research training experience. The institutional setting may be a domestic or foreign non-profit private or public institution ~ i nc] udi ng ADAMHA or NTH) that has the staff and faci ~ i ti es to provi de the proposed research training in a suitable environment. ~ 4 3

With adequate justification, an individual may request support for research training abroad. Such applicants are required to provide detailed information on the unique facilities and/or training opportunity at the proposed location. ANNUAL STIPENDS AND ALLOWANCES: The annual stipend for predoctoral individuals at all levels is $3,9000 For postdoctoral individuals the stipend for the first year is determined by the number of years of prior relevant postdoctoral experience at the time of award. Relevant 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 subsequent year is based on the level of the first year plus $400 for each additional year under a Nati onal Research Servi ce Award.

The stipend is not a payment for services performed. Fellows supported under individual awards are not considered to be employees either of PHS or of their spon- soring institution. For fellows sponsored by domestic non-Federal institutions, the payment of the stipend will be made through the sponsoring institution. For fellows sponsored by Federal or foreign institutions, the stipend payment will be made directly by U.S. Treasury check. Supplementation of the NRSA stipend from non-Federal funds is permitted. Other Federal funds may be used for supp] ementation only if exp] i citly ~ 44

authorized by the program from which such funds are derived. No ADAMHA, NIH, or HRA grant funds may be used for supplementation. This is not intended to discourage in any way the use of Federal Joan funds. This additional support may be provided without obligation by the awardee or may be conditioned on his or her performance of certain services such as teaching or serving as a laboratory assistant. Under no circumstances, however, may the servi ce requi remeets detract from or prol ong the trai ni ng. Funds wi ~ ~ not be provi deaf to cover the cost of travel between the fed ~ ow ' s place of residence and the training institution, except (~) 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 component 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 s ponsori ng i nsti tuti on to he] p defray s uch trai nee expenses as tuition and fees, research supplies, equipment, travel to scientific meetings, and related items. An allowance of up to $] ,OOO per 12-month period is available for the fellow sponsored by a Federal labora- tory for scientific meeting travel expenses and appropriate medical i ns u ran ce . When an i n di vi dual award i s for approved trai n i ng ~ nvo ~ vi ng research at sites other than the sponsoring institution, an allowance may be requested to help support field costs of the research as weld as travel. The sponsoring institution shall be entitled to the approved institutional al ~ Owen ce on ly upon offi ci a ~ acti vati on of the award . However, ~ f an i ndi vi dual f el ~ ow i s not enro] ~ ed or enga ged i n trai ni ng for more than hal f of the year of s upport for wh i ch the award was made, one-hal f of the allowance must be refunded to the Public Health Service. PERI OD OF SUPPORT: There are ~ ega] ~ i mi tati ons on the aggregate n umber Support which an individual may receive, through individual awards and/or i nsti tutional grants, i . e ., no more than 5 years at the . predoctoral level and 3 years at the postdoctoral level. Any exception to these legal limitations requires a waiver from the Director of the awarding Institute based on review of justification from the individual awardee and his or her sponsor. ADAMHA policy limits an application for fellowship support, at either the pre- or postdoctoral level, to three years. In practice, recommendations of review committees are generally for one or two years. Support beyond the recommended period, and within the legal limits of 5 years predoctora] and 3 years of postdoctoral support, may be requested in an application that will be reviewed by an initial review group and wi ~ ~ compete for avai ~ ate] e funds . CONDITIONS OF AWARD: No award will be made available to an individual unless he or she has signed and submitted a Payback Assurance indicating 145

his or her intent to meet payback provisions required under the law. No funds may be disbursed until the individual has started under the award and an Acti vati on Noti ce and If Agreement have been s ubmi tted to PHS . At the end of the total suppor~dividual fellow must submit a Termination Notice form to ADAMHA. Failure to submit this required form in a timely fashion may result in collection action. 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 may not be held concurrently with another Federally-sponsor~d fed ~ ows h i p or s i mi ~ ar Federal award wh i ch provi des a sti pend or othenvi s e duplicates provisions of the NRS Awards An NRSA recipient may, however accept concurrent educational remuneration from the Veterans Administra° tion (e.g., G.~. Bill) and loans from Federal funds. Awardees in academic institutions are not entitled to vacations as such. They are, however, entitled to the normal short student holidays observed by their training institution. The time between a sunder session and the fall semester is to be utilized as an active part of the training period. Awardees in non-academic institutions are entitled to the holiday and vacation schedule applicable to all trainees at the institution. PAYBACK REQUIREMENTS: Within two years after completion of NRSA support, individual recipients of NRS Awards are to engage, for a period equal to the period of support, in continuous, health-related, b i ornedi ca ~ or behavi ore ~ res earch or teach i ng s or any comb i n ati on thereof. When in academic employment, such research or teaching may be in any combination in accordance with the usual patterns of academic employment. Alternatively, if the Secretary, HEW, determines there are no suitable health research or teaching positions available to the individual, the following may be authorized: (~) If the individual is a physician, dentist, nurse, or other individual trained to provide health care directly to patients, the Secretary may authorize (a) service in the National Health Service Corps, or (b) service in his or her specialty in a health maintenance organization serving a medically underserved popu] ation, or, ~ 2~ If the indi vi dual who recei ved the NRS Award is not trained to provide health care to patients, the Secretary may authorize the individual to engage in some other health-reiated activity. The period of service shall equal the period of support under both regular and alternative payback service. For i ndi vi dual s who fai ~ to fu] fi ~ ~ thei r fu ~ ~ s ervi ce ob ~ i gati on, the Uni ted States is enti t] ed to recover an amount equal to the tote] amount paid to the individual, plus interest. The amount is computed in accordance with a formula which gives full credit to tote] months actually served. Interest on the amount begins and is at the rate fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury considering private consumer rates 146

which 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 substantial hardship and be against equity and good conscience. TAXABILITY OF STIPENDS: Section 161(b) of the Revenue Act of 1978, states that (~) any amount paid to, or on behalf of, an individual from appropriated funds as a National Research Service Award under section 472 of the Publ i c Heal th Service Act shal l be trea1:ed as a scholarship or fellowship grant under section ll7 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 and (2) the provisions of subsection (b) shall apply to awards made during calendar years 1974 through 1979. Section ll7 is that part of the Internal Revenue Code which applies to the tax treatment of all scholarships and fellowships. In general, it provides that, subject to certain limitations, degree candidates may exclude the full amount of their scholarships or fellowships from their gross income for purposes of taxation, and non-degree candidates may exclude up to $300 a month of such awards for up to 36-months. It must be emphasized that the interpretation and implementation of the tax laws are the domain of the Internal Revenue Service and the courts. PHS takes no position on what this provision may mean for a particular taxpayer, and it does not have the authority to dispense tax advice. Individuals should consult their local IRS office about the applicability of the new law to their situations and for information on the proper steps to be taken regarding their tax obligations. REVIEW PROCESS AND REVIEW CRITERIA: Applications will be evaluated for scientific/technical merit by ADAMHA initial review groups. The application will be evaluated on the basis of past academic and research records, the research training proposal, the sponsor's general qualifica- tions, the training environment, the applicant's research goals in terms of specified priority areas, publications, reference reports and other red event i nformati on . FUNDING CRITERIA: Awardi ng components se] ect app] i cations for fundi ng primarily on the basis of merit review results, but other factors which may be consi dered i nc] ude avai ~ abi ~ i ty of funds, pri ori ty on postdoctoral support, program priorities as indicated in the research areas specified in this announcement, and grants policy requirements. 147
