PERMANENT RESIDENTS APPLYING FOR NIH INDIVIDUAL NATIONAL RESEARCHSERVICE AWARD FELLOWSHIPS NIH GUIDE, Volume 25, Number 8, March 15, 1996 P.T. 22 Keywords: Biomedical Research Training Grants Administration/Policy+ National Institutes of Health In the past, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has required all individuals seeking support from an Individual National Research Service Award (NRSA) Fellowship to be citizens or non-citizen nationals, or to have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence at the time of application. Individuals admitted for permanent residence in the United States were required to submit a notarized statement with the application confirming possession of an Alien Registration Receipt Card. Effective immediately, the citizenship/permanent residence requirements must be fulfilled by the award start date rather than at the application date. An individual expecting to be admitted as a permanent resident by the ~earliest possible award date~ listed in the fellowship program announcement may submit an application for an individual NRSA fellowship. An individual already admitted for permanent residence is not required to submit documentation with the application. Only an applicant who is selected to receive an award must provide a notarized statement of admission for permanent residence prior to award. Applicants who have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence, i.e., are in possession of an Alien Registration Receipt Card or other legal verification of such status, should check the Permanent Resident box in Item 4 on the face page of the fellowship application. Applicants who have applied for and have not yet been granted admission as a permanent resident should also check the same box, but should write in the word "pending".
