Purpose: This Notice supersedes NOT-OD-21-049 and establishes stipend levels for fiscal year (FY) 2022 Kirschstein-NRSA awards for undergraduate, predoctoral, and postdoctoral trainees and fellows, as shown in the tables below. The Training Related Expenses and Institutional Allowances for predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees and fellows reflect a moderate increase and the Tuition and Fees for all educational levels remain unchanged from the prior budget year. This Notice reflects the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (H.R. 2471, Public Law No: 117-103), signed into law on March 15, 2022.
The budgetary categories described in this Notice apply only to Kirschstein-NRSA awards made with FY 2022 funds. All FY 2022 awards previously issued using NOT-OD-21-049 will be revised to adjust funding to the FY 2022 levels. Appointments to institutional training grants that have already been awarded in FY 2022 must be amended to reflect the FY 2022 stipend levels once the training grant award has been adjusted by the NIH. Amended appointments must be submitted through xTrain in the eRA Commons. Retroactive adjustments or supplementation of stipends or other budgetary categories with Kirschstein-NRSA funds for an award made prior to October 1, 2021 are not permitted.
Detailed information on stipend levels, relevant policies, tuition and fees, training-related expenses and institutional allowances can be found in the full announcement NOT-OD-22-108.
