Description

A set of National Institutes of Health loan-repayment programmes run by NIH to attract and retain biomedical researchers in its intramural laboratories and clinics.

Components

• NIH Intramural Loan Repayment Programs: The NIH Intramural Loan Repayment Programs are an incentive mechanism by which, for over a decade, the National Institutes of Health has been "using repayment of education loans as an incentive to attract and retain first-rate biomedical scientists in its labs and clinics." The evaluation assesses the programs' role in recruitment and retention outcomes using survey data on participants and nonparticipants. (Steven Glazerman (2005))
• NIH Intramural Research Loan Repayment Program: The NIH Intramural Research Loan Repayment Program is a program evaluated by Mathematica Policy Research in 2005. The report describes gathering information from "participant focus groups, program staff, other NIH staff, and administrative data" to understand how the program has been implemented, especially in recent years. The program operates within NIH's Human Services and Education-related work as framed by the publisher. (Steven Glazerman et al. (2005))
