Sec. 66.106  Awards.



    (a) Within the limits of funds available, the Secretary shall make 

Awards to those applicants:

    (1) Who have satisfied the requirements of Sec. 66.105; and

    (2) Whose proposed research or training would, in the judgment of 

the Secretary, best promote the purposes of section 487(a)(1)(A) of the 

Act, taking into consideration among other pertinent factors:

    (i) The scientific, technical, or educational merit of the 

particular proposal;

    (ii) The availability of resources and facilities to carry it out;

    (iii) The qualifications and experience of the applicant; and

    (iv) The need for personnel in the subject area of the proposed 

research or training.

    (b) In making Awards, the Secretary shall take account of the 

Nation's overall need for biomedical research by giving special 

consideration to physicians who agree to undertake a minimum of two 

years of biomedical research.

    (c) All Awards shall be in writing. Each shall specify:

    (1) The period of the Award;

    (2) The total recommended stipends and allowances provided for the 

entire Award period;

    (3) The amount awarded for the intitial year of that period (see 

Sec. 66.107); and

    (4) The amount of the payments to the institution for the cost of 

services provided the awardee by the institution during the initial year 

of that period (see Sec. 66.108).

    (d) Neither the approval of any application nor any Award shall 

commit or obligate the United States in any way to make additional, 

supplemental, continuation, or other Award with respect to any approved 

application or portion thereof.

    (e) No individual may receive an aggregate of more than five years 

of support at the predoctoral level and three years at the postdoctoral 

level unless the Secretary waives, for good cause shown, this limitation 

for the individual. In determining what constitutes ``good cause,'' the 

Secretary shall take into account such factors as whether the applicant 

proposes to pursue a combined program leading to the degrees of doctor 

of medicine and doctor of philosophy.
