(Notice Number: NOT-OD-19-036)

This Notice supersedes NOT-OD-18-175 and establishes stipend levels for fiscal year (FY) 2019 Kirschstein-NRSA awards for undergraduate, predoctoral, and postdoctoral trainees and fellows, as shown in the tables below. In addition, the Training Related Expenses and the Institutional Allowance for postdoctoral trainees and fellows have been increased. The Training Related Expenses and Institutional Allowances for predoctoral trainees and fellows and the Tuition and Fees for all educational levels remain unchanged. This Notice reflects the Department of Defense and Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Act, 2019 ( Public Law 115-245), signed into law on September 28, 2018.

The budgetary categories described in this Notice apply only to Kirschstein-NRSA awards made with FY 2019 funds. All FY 2019 awards previously issued using NOT-OD-18-175 will be revised to adjust funding to the FY 2019 levels. Appointments to institutional training grants that have already been awarded in FY 2019 must be amended to reflect the FY 2019 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, 2018 are not permitted.
