Purpose: This Notice supersedes NOT-OD-22-132 and establishes stipend levels for fiscal year (FY) 2023 Kirschstein-NRSA awards for undergraduate, predoctoral, and postdoctoral trainees and fellows, as shown in the tables below which reflects the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (H.R. 2617, Public Law No: 117-328), signed into law on December 29, 2022. The Training Related Expenses and Institutional Allowances for predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees and fellows reflect a moderate increase. The Tuition and Fees for all educational levels remain unchanged from the prior budget year. See NIH Funding Strategies for guidance on current NIH Fiscal Operations.
The budgetary categories described in this Notice apply only to Kirschstein-NRSA awards made with FY 2023 funds. All FY 2023 awards previously issued using NOT-OD-22-132 will be revised to adjust funding to the FY 2023 levels. Appointments to institutional training grants that have already been awarded in FY 2023 must be amended to reflect the FY 2023 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, 2022, are not permitted.
Stipends: Effective with all Kirschstein-NRSA awards made on or after October 1, 2022, adjusted annual stipend levels apply to all individuals receiving support through institutional research training grants or individual fellowships.
