UConn Health Center Research Revenue Trends

NIH Stipend Levels

Effective with all Kirschstein-NRSA awards made on or after October 1, 2008, the following annual stipend levels apply to all individuals receiving support through institutional research training grants or individual fellowships, including the Minority Access to Research Career (MARC) and Career Opportunities in Research (COR) programs. These awards are made under the authority of Section 487 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended.


The stipend levels are as follows:

Career Level Stipend for FY 2009
Undergraduates in the MARC and COR Programs:
Freshmen/Sophomores $7,896
Juniors/Seniors $11,064
     
Predoctoral   $20,976
     
Postdoctoral
Years of Experience:
  0 $37,368
  1 $39,360
  2 $42,204
  3 $43,860
  4 $45,504
  5 $47,460
  6 $49,344
  7 or more $51,552

 

These stipend levels are to be used in the preparation of future competing and non-competing NRSA institutional training grant and individual fellowship applications. They will be administratively applied to all applications currently in the review process.

NRSA support is limited to 5 years for predoctoral trainees, and 3 years for postdoctoral fellows. The NIH provides eight levels of postdoctoral stipends to accommodate individuals who complete other forms of health-related training prior to accepting a Kirschstein-NRSA supported position. (The presence of eight discrete levels of experience, however, does not constitute an endorsement of extended periods of postdoctoral research training.)

It should be noted that the maximum amount that NIH will award to support the compensation package for a graduate student research assistant remains at the zero level postdoctoral stipend, as described in NOT-OD-02-017.

Routing Proposals

In order to properly review grant and contract proposals, the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) requires adequate lead time, usually an advance of 3 to 5 working days prior to the agency deadline is sufficient.

Grant proposals, research agreements, contracts, clinical trials, and letters of intent should all be routed through ORSP. The previous documents as well as material transfer agreements typically require additional time for review, negotiation, and execution.
