Ask Your Senator to Increase NRSA Stipends

Currently, the House version contains a 2% increase in the NRSA stipend levels, but the Senate version does not include an increase in the stipends. The National Postdoc Association is asking the Senate to accept the House language and include the 2% increase in the final version of the bill.

The Senate will soon be voting on H.R. 3293, which is the appropriations bill for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) 2010 budget. After the Senate vote, the bill will go to “conference” to resolve the differences between the Senate and House versions of the bill.

Please email you Senator and make you voice heard!
