Can an individual apply for an NRSA grant before he/she completed all requirements for a doctorate?
Yes. Several awardees have timed the awarding of the NRSA award to their completion of the doctorate thereby beginning a postdoctoral program immediately. If there is a delay in completion of all academic requirements, the award can be made to the candidate but the implementation must wait until all degree requirements are completed. An awardee has a window up to 6 months after award to activate the grant. • Can one have more than 3 years of NRSA supported postdoctoral training? Only under exceptional circumstances is it possible to extend the total number of years of NRSA support beyond the congressionally mandated 3 years (postdoctoral) cap. A request for an extension must be made directly to the NCI Program Director. • Can an applicant submit an individual NRSA application if he/she applied for a “green card” but has not received it yet? Yes. Citizenship requirements for fellowships must be satisfied at the time of award. An individual must possess a currently valid Alien Registrati
