Brown-bag lunch and learn: NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs) 

Posted on , updated on by OSP_Admin

Wednesday, August 30, 12:00-1:00PM, MHRA Building, Room 1607

Overview: The NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs) are designed to recruit and retain highly qualified health professionals into biomedical or biobehavioral research careers. The LRPs repay up to $35,000 annually of a researcher’s qualified educational debt in return for a commitment to engage in NIH mission-relevant research.

Qualifications: You must be a U.S. citizen, national or permanent resident, with a qualifying degree (e.g. Ph.D. and others), with qualified educational debt, and conducting qualified research.
Learn from UNCG awardees: Christopher Rhea of Kinesiology and Marianne LeGreco of Communication Studies have offered to share their personal stories in winning LRP awards. Their examples and advice could help you win an LRP.

Join us!

When: Wednesday, August 30, 12:00-1:00PM (drop in as you are able)
Where: MHRA Building, Room 1607 (large conf. room on 1st floor)
What: After a brief intro, hear from two UNCG faculty that have been awarded NIH LRPs. Bring your questions. Also feel free to bring your own lunch for this very casual discussion.
Why: To help you be more competitive for an NIH LRP, and pay off student debt.

RSVP: Send an email to Aubrey Turner (aubrey.turner@uncg.edu) in the Office of Sponsored Programs
