March 19, 2021

 

 

 This is not a fellowship announcement, but rather a supplement available for folks who already have a NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Award (NRSA) fellowship. Yesterday NIH posted an [Announcement ](https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__grants.nih.gov_grants_guide_notice-2Dfiles_NOT-2DOD-2D21-2D069.html&d=DwMFaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=FiEhherrufKe2K9VXW063smlNit6tKjg4Rz_MP2-Xz8&m=DiYHFDV0XhJhfmsrOsMiF-gOiZlB4xrE7YBDcV3BI4o&s=ddG2wq_mL7sz8BckHfOdBWyEN43jRV3DpwZdWwA4uHA&e=)(NOT-OD-21-069) as well as a [Notice of Special Interest](https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__grants.nih.gov_grants_guide_notice-2Dfiles_NOT-2DOD-2D21-2D070.html&d=DwMFaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=FiEhherrufKe2K9VXW063smlNit6tKjg4Rz_MP2-Xz8&m=DiYHFDV0XhJhfmsrOsMiF-gOiZlB4xrE7YBDcV3BI4o&s=n5FxOHdhVGeCwot4UWbaKxmxBywPO1_JK1PVmRKoqBQ&e=) (NOT-OD-21-070) that details funds available for NRSA fellows for childcare. Specifically:

- NRSA fellows can request $2,500 per budget period for childcare provided by a licensed childcare provider
- Applicants are encouraged to apply for all remaining years; e.g., if they have 2 years left they should apply for 2 years of childcare costs ($5,000)
- If both parents are NRSA fellows then each parent is eligible for $2,500 per budget period
- We are anticipating a “Phase 2” of this effort to take affect for fiscal year 2022, where a “similar cost will be provided for NRSA-supported trainees” – more information about that will be released at a later time

 Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis beginning on April 8, 2021. Please spread this exciting Notice of Special Interest and Announcement to trainees!
