NIH Loan Repayment Programs

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Division of Loan Repayment (DLR) administers all aspects of the NIH Extramural Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs) for scientists conducting nonprofit research outside of NIH, and supports application and payment activities for the NIH Intramural Loan Repayment Programs for NIH employee researchers. DLR maintains the online application system for the LRPs, screens applications for completeness and eligibility, coordinates payments to the lenders of successful applicants, and conducts communications and outreach activities to raise awareness about the LRPs.

Using this application DLR Participants can login and perform the following activities:
1. Update Profile information
2. Manage Service Obligations
3. Loan and Payment Information
