PART 68c--NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF CHILD HEALTH AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT CONTRACEPTION AND INFERTILITY RESEARCH LOAN REPAYMENT PROGRAM--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 68c.8  What does the CIR-LRP provide to participants?

    (a) Loan repayments. Upon receipt of an individual's written 
commitment to serve a minimum initial period of two years of obligated 
service in accordance with this part, the Secretary may pay up to 
$35,000 per year of a participant's repayable debt for each year the 
individual serves.
    (b) Under paragraph (a) of this section, the Secretary will make 
payments in the discharge of debt to the extent appropriated funds are 
available for that purpose. When a shortage of funds exists, 
participants may be funded partially, as determined by the Secretary. 
However, once a CIR-LRP contract has been signed by both parties, the 
Secretary will obligate such funds as necessary to ensure that 
sufficient funds will be available to pay benefits for the duration of 
the period of obligated service unless otherwise specified by mutual 
written agreement between the Secretary and the applicant. Benefits will 
be paid on a quarterly basis after each service period unless otherwise 
specified by mutual written agreement between the Secretary and the 
applicant.
