This often puts pressure on program graduates to seek high paying careers in private industry in favor of continued health related research. In an effort to curb that tendency, congress and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have established a Loan Repayment Program (LRP) to reduce educational debt for individuals who pursue a career in medical research. The program specifically favors applicants with a focus on clinical, pediatric, health disparities, or contraception &amp; infertility research.<\/p>\n<h3>Program details<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class='q_list circle'><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The next cycle of LRP will be open from September 1, 2018 \u2013 November 15, 2018<\/li>\n<li>LRP will repay up to $35,000 of educational debt per year<\/li>\n<li>Applicants must be engaged in research at least 20 hours per week (on average)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div>[vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]As an additional resource, NIH has created an LRP ambassador network. Ambassadors are current and past recipients who can help guide you through your application and answer questions about the program.
