Can I supplement a F30 NRSA predoctoral fellowhip with NIH funds to meet the graduate school stipend amount ? The NRSA is for 23,844 and the graduate school pays 28,000.

While trainees are required to devote full-time effort to the training program, they may receive separate compensation from an NIH grant when employed on a limited part-time basis, for example, as a laboratory assistant. Compensation may not be paid from a research grant that supports the same research that is part of the trainee’s planned training experience. Under no circumstances may the conditions of the employment interfere with, detract from, or prolong the trainee’s approved Kirschstein-NRSA training program. For additional information see the NIH Grants Policy Statement, Section 11.3.10.2 Compensation.
