In order to encourage health professionals to pursue careers in biomedical, behavioral, social, and clinical research, the NIH Loan Repayment Program may repay up to $35,000 of qualified student loan debt per year for individuals committing at least two years to conducting qualified research funded by a domestic nonprofit organization or U.S. federal, state, or local government entity. This loan repayment benefit is in addition to institutional salary received during your time in research.
