Sec. 63.3  What is the purpose of traineeships?

    The purpose of an NIH research traineeship is to provide support for 
financial subsistence to an individual during a period in which the 
awardee is acquiring training in:
    (a) Basic and/or clinical biomedical or behavioral research relating 
to human health, including extending healthy life and reducing the 
burdens of illness, or
    (b) Medical library science or related fields pertaining to sciences 
related to health or the communication of health sciences information.
    Traineeships are intended to make available in the United States an 
increased number of persons having special competence in these research 
fields through developmental training and practical research experience 
in the facilities of NIH, with supplemental training at other qualified 
institutions (see Sec. 63.8(a)).
