professionals who are dedicated to working with the underserved and have qualifying educational loans are eligible to compete for repayment of those loans if they choose to serve in a community of greatest need. In addition to loan repayment, these clinicians receive a competitive salary and a chance to have a significant impact on a community. In 1988, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) launched its first LRP, when Congress authorized the agency to establish the
AIDS Research LRP. The program offered to repay student loan debt and was instrumental in attracting young scientists into AIDS research so that the disease could be quickly understood and effective therapies developed. The initiative was so successful at increasing the number of investigators that it became clear the same incentive could be applied to other areas in critical need of researchers. In 1993, Congress authorized three additional LRPs — two for intramural researchers (NIH employees
conducting research at NIH) and one for extramural researchers (those conducting research for nonprofit organizations outside NIH). Today, following further Congressional authorizations in 2000, eight LRPs provide up to $35,000 in annual educational loan repayment for scientists conducting biomedical and behavioral research. DLR maintains the online application system for the LRPs, screens applications for completeness and eligibility, coordinates payments to the
lenders of successful applicants, and conducts communications and outreach activities to raise awareness about the LRPs. There are five types of LRP programs: Clinical Research Pediatric Research Health Disparities Research Contraception and Infertility Research Clinical Research for Individuals from Disadvantaged Backgrounds The LRP
Information Center staff answers questions and provides information about the LRPs, eligibility, benefits and the application process.

EnterpriseEnterpriseAs the nation’s largest public research university, the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) aims to catalyze, support and safeguard U-M research and scholarship activity.
The Office of the Vice President for Research oversees a variety of interdisciplinary units that collaborate with faculty, staff, students and external partners to catalyze, support and safeguard research and scholarship activity. ORSP manages pre-award and some post-award research activity for U-M. We review contracts for sponsored projects applying regulatory, statutory and organizational knowledge to balance the university's mission, the sponsor's objectives, and the investigator's intellectual pursuits.
Ethics and compliance in research covers a broad range of activity from general guidelines about conducting research responsibly to specific regulations governing a type of research (e.g., human subjects research, export controls, conflict of interest). eResearch is U-M's site for electronic research administration. Access: Regulatory Management (for IRB or IBC rDNA applications); Proposal Management (eRPM) for the e-routing, approval, and submission of proposals (PAFs) and Unfunded Agreements (UFAs) to external entities); and Animal Management (for IACUC protocols and ULAM). Sponsored Programs manages the post-award financial activities of U-M's research enterprise and other sponsored activities to ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws as well as sponsor regulations. The Office of Contract Administration (OCA) is also part of the Office of Finance - Sponsored Programs.
