Program Purpose
The purpose of the AIDS Research LRP is to establish a program of educational loan repayment to attract additional health professionals into Acquired Immunodeficiency
Syndrome (AIDS) research. The mission of the NIH AIDS Research Loan Repayment Program (AIDS-LRP) is to attract highly qualified physicians, nurses, and scientists
to HIV/AIDS research by countering the growing economic disincentives to embark on biomedical research careers, using loan repayment as an incentive.
Program Announcement

Health (NIH) to establish the AIDS Research LRP.
