The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has begun accepting applications for its extramural and intramural Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs), which repay a portion of student loans for individuals in target areas of research, some relevant to endocrinology.  The five extramural LRPs are Clinical Research, Pediatric Research, Health Disparities Research, Contraception and Infertility Research, and Clinical Research for Individuals from Disadvantaged Backgrounds.  The intramural LRPs are AIDS Research, Clinical Research, and General Research for ACGME Fellows.

Application deadlines for the intramural and extramural programs are December 1, 2009, and May 1, 2010, respectively.  More information is available on the LRP website at www.lrp.nih.gov.
