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)).
