Can TL1 trainees be otherwise employed while appointed to the program?
From the NIH Grants Policy Statement: “NIH recognizes that Kirschstein-NRSA fellows (such as in the TL1 program) may seek part-time employment incidental to their training program to offset further their expenses. Fellows and trainees may spend on average, an additional 25% of their time (e.g., 10 hours per week) in part time research, teaching, or clinical employment, so long as those activities do not interfere with, or lengthen, the duration of their NRSA training.”
