NIH Releases FY 2004 Stipend
Levels
February 13, 2004 - The NIH Feb. 5 released the FY
2004 stipend levels for predoctoral trainees and postdoctoral
fellows receiving Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service
Awards (NRSA) (NOT-OD-04-023).
The published level for predoctoral trainees and for postdoctoral
fellows (with zero years of experience) is $20,772 and $35,568,
respectively. Both stipend levels reflect a 4 percent increase
from the FY 2003 levels (NOT-OD-03-033). The percent change
from FY 2003 to 2004 for a postdoctoral fellow with one year
of experience increases 3.8 percent, but the rate of increase
declines with increasing years of postdoctoral experience
(see table below). These guidelines are effective for awards
made on or after Oct. 1, 2003. President Bush's recent FY
2005 budget proposal provides that stipend levels in FY 2005
remain at FY 2004 levels.
