NIH Loan Repayment Applications Close 19 November, With Six Programs Cut to Three
- The FY2027 NIH Extramural Loan Repayment Programs accept applications from 1 September to 19 November 2026[1]
- NIH has cut the subcategories from six to three: Clinical Research (L30), Pediatric Research (L40) and FOCUS (L70), the new name for REACH[1]
- Former L32 applicants move to L30, L50 applicants to L70, and L60 health-disparities applicants choose L30, L40 or L70 by research focus[1]
- NIH says the change aims to "reduce complexity for applicants, not reduce support", keeping the benefits and eligibility rules[1]
- The programs are meant to recruit and retain health professionals in biomedical and biobehavioral research and can repay up to $100,000 of qualified educational loans for a two-year research commitment[2]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
