“Pay level revision for National Research Service Award (NRSA) recipients is a 1st step toward reaffirming the value and progressing toward appropriate compensation for National Institutions of Health (NIH)’s pre- and postdoctoral scholars.

I am hopeful this beginning and our commitment to sustained progress will help us attract and retain our nation’s brightest scientific minds.”
