Form 1 National Research Service Award Termination Notice

Information and Instructions for Completing a
Termination Notice

(Completed form should be submitted to the PHS awarding agency Grants Management Office named in the Notice of Award)

This form summarizes the information to be supplied by Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) recipients on termination of their award and for a limited period thereafter. This form may also be used to document the termination of appointments to non-NRSA individual and institutional research training programs (e.g., NIH intramural research training awards and T15 training grants), research education awards (e.g., R25), and institutional career development awards (e.g., K12). For non-NRSA recipients, please refer to specific guidance on documenting the termination of appointments in the Funding Opportunity Announcement, and in the terms and conditions of the Notice of Award.

All KirschsteinNRSA Recipients

(1) The attached Termination Notice (PHS 416-7) serves as the official record of your training under a KirschsteinNRSA. This summary of work accomplished, support period, stipends received, and post-training activity is required of all recipients immediately after termination. After securing proper signatures, forward the completed form to the appropriate awarding office (National Institutes of Health (NIH) Institute or Center or Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)).

(2) Because the sponsoring Federal agencies are asked periodically to review KirschsteinNRSA program impact in terms of career choices, you may be contacted after the termination of this award, but no more frequently than once every 2 years, to determine how the training obtained has influenced your career.

KirschsteinNRSA Postdoctoral Recipients with a Payback Obligation

(1) As specified in the Payback Agreement you signed at the time of award, biomedical or behavioral health-related research, health-related teaching, and/or health-related activities must begin within 2 years of terminating KirschsteinNRSA support; otherwise, unless an extension of the 2 year service initiation period or a waiver of the obligation is granted, financial payback becomes due. Further details are given in the Payback Agreement and the National Research Service Awards section of the most recent version of the NIH Grants Policy Statement found at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/policy.htm. If you have any questions, contact the awarding office that supported your training.

(2) To record your payback status and service, you will receive from the sponsoring Federal agency an Annual Payback Activities Certification (APAC) (PHS 6031-1) form one year after your termination date and annually thereafter until your service obligation has been completed.

(3) You are required to keep the Federal funding agency informed of your current address and telephone number until your total payback obligation is satisfied. Report any change to the NRSA Payback Service Center, Office of Extramural Programs, National Institutes of Health, 6011 Executive Boulevard, Suite 206, MSC 7650, Bethesda, MD 20892-7650; (301) 594-1835; (866) 298-9371.

(Item 3) Self-explanatory.

(Item 4) The last four digits of your Social Security Number are requested under authority of the Public Health Service Act as amended (42 USC 288).

For domestic non-Federal institutions, the “Amount of Stipend” column must reflect the stipend only. Individual fellows sponsored by (training at) Federal or foreign institutions must include all money paid directly to them in the “Amount of Stipend” column. Note the stipend amount must reflect only the Kirschstein-NRSA stipend. Do not include any supplementation provided by other sources. Do not include any other NRSA-awarded costs such as tuition or institutional allowance.

(Item 8) Self-explanatory.

(Item 9a) Please mark a single box under each of the three categories that best describes your anticipated post-award position, activity, and the organization with which you will be affiliated.

This information will be used to develop a complete service obligation record.

(Item 12) In signing this form, I certify that the statements therein are true and complete to the best of my knowledge. Willful provision of false information is a criminal offense (U.S. Code, Title 18, Section 1001). I am aware that any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement may, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, subject me to civil penalties under the Program Fraud and Civil Remedies Act of 1986 (45 CFR Part 79). Also, if I have a payback obligation, I understand that payback service must begin within 2 years of terminating my KirschsteinNRSA support; otherwise, financial payback becomes due, unless an extension of the 2-year service initiation period or a waiver of the obligation is granted. I also understand that if I fail to repay both principal and interest, the Federal Government will take authorized actions to collect the debt.

(Item 13) The sponsor of (for individual fellowship awards) or the contact Program Director (for an institutional award) must sign and date the form certifying that the research training information is correct.

(Item 14) For Kirschstein-NRSA Awards Only -- A business official of domestic non-Federal sponsoring institutions (with the knowledge and authority to verify this information) must certify that the information provided in Items 6 and 7 is correct according to institutional records.
