Announcing Childcare Cost Support for Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Fellow Transition Programs F99 Recipients

Posted

Beginning in fiscal year 2025, NIH will provide childcare cost support to individuals supported as full-time recipients of Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Fellow Transition Award (F99/K00) programs during the F99 phase of the award. This is part of our ongoing commitment to support early career researchers, following our announcement of childcare costs for full-time NRSA fellows and trainees in 2021 and subsidies increases earlier this year.

F99/K00 applicants and F99 award recipients are eligible to receive $3,000 per budget period for costs for childcare provided by a licensed childcare provider.

For details on applicability and how to request childcare cost support, see the full Guide Notice, FAQs, and Family-Friendly Initiatives page.
