NIH Pathway to Independence (PI) Award (K99/R00) - The primary goal of this pilot initiative is to facilitate receiving an R01 award
earlier in a research career and to assist investigators in securing a stable research
position during the critical transition stage of their career.
NIH Loan Repayment Program - NIH wants to encourage outstanding health professionals to pursue careers in biomedical,
behavioral, social, and clinical research. If you commit at least two years to conducting
qualified research funded by a domestic nonprofit organization or U.S. federal, state,
or local government entity, NIH may repay up to $35,000 of your qualified student
loan debt per year, including most undergraduate, graduate, and medical school loans.
