> OBJECTIVES:
> The sponsor provides support for research training leading to the
> Ph.D. (or equivalent research degree), or the combined M.D./Ph.D.
> degree (or other combined professional research doctoral degrees) in
> the biomedical or behavioral sciences. The intent of this program is
> to encourage students with disabilities to seek graduate degrees and
> thus further the goal of increasing the number of scientists with
> disabilities who are prepared to pursue careers in biomedical and
> behavioral research. The proposed National Research Service Award
> (NRSA) training must be within the scope of biomedical, behavioral, or
> clinical research and must offer an opportunity for individuals to
> broaden their scientific background or to extend their potential for
> research in health-related areas.
>
> ELIGIBILITY
> By the time of award, individuals must be citizens or noncitizen
> nationals of the United States, or have been lawfully admitted to the
> United States for permanent residence. Individuals on temporary or
> student visas are not eligible. An individual with a disability is
> one who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits
> one or more major life activities, a record of such an impairment, or
> who is regarded as having such an impairment. Qualified students with
> disabilities are those who, with reasonable accommodation for their
> disability, are capable of pursuing a research career after
> appropriate education, training, and experience. A list of
> disabilities that might confer eligibility for awards under this
> program includes, but is not limited to, the following: total deafness
> in both ears, visual acuity less than 20/200 with corrective lenses,
> speech impairment, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete
> paralysis, convulsive disorders, mental or emotional illness, learning
> disabilities, kidney dialysis, and severe distortion of limbs and/or
> spine. In all cases, individuals supported under this program must,
> with reasonable assistance, be able to complete the requirements for
> the degree program in which they are enrolled. An applicant must
> currently be enrolled in a Ph.D. or equivalent research degree
> program, a combined M.D./Ph.D. program, or other combined professional
> doctorate/research Ph.D. graduate program in the biomedical,
> behavioral, or clinical sciences. Or, the applicant must have been
> accepted by and agreed to enroll in such a graduate program in the
> academic year for which funds are sought. Applicants requesting
> foreign training must show in the application that the foreign
> institution and sponsor offer unique opportunities that are not
> currently available in the United States. Only if there is a clear
> scientific advantage will foreign training be supported. The
> sponsoring institution may be private (profit or non-profit) or
> public.
>
> FUNDING
> This program will use the award mechanism for the individual
> Predoctoral Fellowship Award For Students with Disabilities (F31).
> The fellowship award provides an annual stipend to help meet the
> fellow's living expenses; an allowance for tuition, fees and health
> insurance in accordance with National Institutes of Health (NIH)
> policy; and an institutional allowance. The current stipend level is
> $18,156. The NIH will offset the combined cost of tuition and fees
> and self-only or family health insurance (as appropriate) at the
> following rate: one hundred percent of all costs up to $3,000 and
> sixty percent of costs above $3,000. Costs associated with tuition
> and fees are allowable only if they are required for specific courses
> in support of the research training experience supported by the
> fellowship. An institutional allowance of $2,750 per twelve-month
> period will be awarded to non-Federal, non-profit sponsoring
> institutions to help defray such awardee expenses as research
> supplies, equipment, travel to scientific meetings, and related items.
> As a part of these awards, additional funds may be requested to make
> changes or adjustments in the academic or research environment that
> will make it possible for an otherwise qualified individual to perform
> the work necessary to meet the requirements of the degree program in
> which he/she is enrolled. Some types of accommodations that might be
> provided under these awards include, but are not limited to:
> specialized equipment, assistive devices, and personnel such as
> readers, interpreters, or assistants. This award is not meant to
> relieve the sponsoring institution of its obligation to provide
> reasonable accommodations as defined by the Americans with
> Disabilities Act. Additional funds may be requested by the
> institution if the training of a fellow involves extraordinary costs
> for travel to field sites remote from the sponsoring institution. In
> cases of extreme need or hardship, a one-way travel allowance may be
> authorized to a training institution. Awards for training at a
> foreign site may include a single economy or coach round-trip travel
> fare. No allowance is provided for dependents. An individual may
> make use of Federal educational loan funds and assistance under the
> Veterans Readjustment Benefits Act (G.I. Bill). Such funds are not
> considered supplementation or compensation. An F31 may not be held
> concurrently with another Federally sponsored fellowship or similar
> Federal award that provides a stipend or otherwise duplicates
> provisions of the NRSA. There are no payback requirements for
> predoctoral NRSA support.
