Abstract:
The NIH Loan Repayment Programs are designed to attract highly qualified physicians and other scientific or medical personnel to research opportunities at the National Institutes of Health (NIH, Intramural) and Non-NIH sites (Extramural). There are a total of 3 Intramural and 5 Extramural programs. Intramural includes AIDS Research Loan Repayment Program (AIDS-LRP), the General Research LRP (GR-LRP), which includes a program for the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Fellows, and the Clinical Research LRP for Individuals from Disadvantaged Backgrounds (CR-LRP). The Extramural programs include Clinical Research LRP for Individuals from Disadvantaged Backgrounds (ECR-LRP), the Pediatric Research LRP (PR-LRP), the Contraception and Infertility Research LRP (CIR-LRP), the Health Disparities Research LRP (HD-LRP), and the Clinical Research LRP (LRP-CR). Data collected through application forms is necessary to determine an applicant's eligibility for the program, including his or her research plans and career interests. The forms presented to the applicant vary based on the application type, Initial/New or Renewal. Each initial applicant is expected to spend approximately 11 hours completing and assembling the application package, and each renewal applicant approximately 7 hours. Both applications require supporting online forms to be completed by their colleagues.

Short Statement:
Since receiving approval for the online application forms in 2014, the Division of Loan Repayment had a slight decline in the number of applications received each cycle. Questions, required information, and requested documents remain largely unchanged. Improvements were made to the structure and appearance of online forms to provide applicants with a better user experience. Information collected from the Applicant Information form (NIH 2674-1) will now be spread over three online sections (tabs) for an improved user experience. Recommenders will no longer be asked to complete a recommendation form (NIH 2674-13), but to write a reference letter that comments on the research skills and the abilities of the applicant. A general eligibility checklist (NIH 2674-20) was added to the start of the application to reduce the probability of ineligible individuals working through the application only to learn of their disqualification after submitting the application. Several existing forms were strategically grouped under different online screens (tabs) within the application to provide applicants with a better flow as they work through their applications. Redundant questions or statements were eliminated.
