3. NIH Loan Repayment Program
NIH
is inviting health professionals engaged in biomedical and behavioral research
to apply online for a loan repayment award. The loan repayment programs (LRPs)
are a vital component of our nation’s efforts to recruit and retain highly
qualified professionals to careers in research.
NIH annually awards loan repayment contracts to approximately 1,600 health
professionals with an average award of $52,000. More than 50% of the awards are
made to individuals less than 5 years out of school. Approximately 40% of all
new applicants are funded and 70% of renewals are funded.
The LRP application cycle is open through December 1. NIH will repay up to
$35,000 annually of qualified educational debt for health professionals pursuing
careers in one of the five Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs). The programs also
provide coverage for Federal and state tax liabilities.
To qualify, applicants must possess a doctoral-level degree, devote an average
of 20 hours per week or more to research funded by a non-profit organization,
university, or government entity (NIH grant support is not required). Applicants
must also have outstanding educational loan debt equal to at least 20% of their
institutional base salary and be U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
Please share this e-mail with the researchers in your organization who may
benefit from LRP participation.
All applications for 2008 awards must be submitted online by 8:00 p.m. EST,
December 1, 2007.
To access the online application or for program information, please visit the
LRP Web site at www.lrp.nih.gov. For assistance call the Helpline at
866.849.4047 or send email inquiries to lrp@nih.gov.

Tutorials
(sponsored by VP for
Research)
4. Scientific Visualization
| Scientific Visualization is the process
of presenting data using computer generated graphics
allowing one to explore and understand the data in a
more intuitive and meaningful format. This talk will
describe some of the basic visualization algorithms
for 2D, 3D and 4D scientific data , including data
from computational fluid dynamics, oceanography,
geology, medical and biological simulations and
observations. The available software and libraries
that are used for visualization will also be
presented. While the talk will focus on scientific
visualization, there will be some discussion on
information visualization and visual analytics.
Finally, current research areas will be described as
well as ongoing research at Rutgers.
