NIH began providing childcare support to recipients of full-time NRSA fellowships in April 2021 and to full-time predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees appointed on NRSA institutional research training awards in September 2021. This support is given in recognition that the high cost of childcare impacts graduate student and postdoctoral scholar ability to successfully complete their training and fully participate in the extramural research workforce. (NOT-OD-24-116).
Beginning in FY25, NIH will begin providing childcare cost support to individuals supported as full-time recipients of Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Fellow Transition Award (F99/K00) programs during the F99 phase of the award.
