The primary consideration in the review of Loan Repayment Program (LRP) applications is an assessment of the potential of the applicant to pursue a career in clinical or pediatric research. The merit of the already funded research of the applicant or the mentor is not a consideration. The NIH Loan Repayment website provides information on the repayment programs available and eligibility and review criteria. A list of NIH LRP liaisons is also provided for you to contact regarding your application.
