NRSA Post Doctoral Fellows

Since NSRA recipients are not considered by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to be employees, employee related benefits are not generally available. However, the University has made its health, dental and vision insurance plans accessible to NRSA recipients. Single coverage has the monthly insurance premium paid by a combination of funds from the NRSA grant and from University funds. No premium amount is charged to the recipient. Family coverage has the monthly premium paid by a combination of funds from the NRSA grant, from University funds and from the NRSA recipient by payroll deduction. The deduction is on an after tax basis. The amount is the increment between the single and family related contributions normally made by University faculty and staff.
