The Program

AHRQ provides support through the National Research Service Award (NRSA) grant program to institutions to develop health services research training opportunities. These institutions in turn provide stipends and partial tuition coverage for predoctoral and postdoctoral students for periods of 1 to 5 years.

Curriculum requirements, educational approaches, content specialization, and length of support may vary by institution.

All programs combine a mix of coursework with topical and career-development seminars, mentoring, and hands-on research experience.

NRSA Program Eligibility

Specific institutional requirements vary, but minimal requirements include the following:

Residency

Applicants for National Research Service Award fellowships must, at the time of award, be citizens of the United States, non-citizen nationals, or non-citizens who have been lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence and have in their possession an Alien Registration Receipt Card I-551 or I-151 or other legal verification of such status. Individuals on temporary or student visas are ineligible.

Educational Requirements

Predoctoral Students must have earned a baccalaureate degree.

Postdoctoral Students must possess a Ph.D., M.D., D.D.S., Sc.D., Dr.P.H., D.Pharm., or equivalent doctoral degree. Support is not provided for education leading to an M.D., D.O., D.D.S., D.M.D., or equivalent health professional degree for residency training.
