Do NBBTP Fellows receive a salary?
No, NBBTP Fellows do not receive a salary because the NBBTP Fellowship is not an offer of employment. However, Fellows do receive a stipend. Initial stipends are established based on relevant research experience or completed education level. A stipend increase for year two of the Fellowship may be granted within the framework of established NIH/Intramural Research Training Award Guidelines based on growth, development, and accomplishments as determined by the NBBTP Advisory Board of Scientific Directors. Stipends are currently paid by check on the last day of each month; direct deposit is not available.
