Termination of Appointments for National Research Service Award (NRSA) Recipients

The Termination Notice (TN) documents the termination of appointments for National Research Service Award (NRSA) recipients. This summary of work accomplished, support period, stipends received, and post-training activity is required of all recipients immediately after termination. The Program Director (PD)/Principal Investigator (PI) is the only person that can initiate or assign the TN. Use of the eRA Commons xTrain system is required to prepare and submit the 416-7 Termination Notice form. The Termination Notice must be submitted within 30 days of the recipient’s termination date. See the NIH Termination of Appointment job aid for detailed instructions on how to complete necessary actions in xTrain.

Contact Faye Ou for issues regarding the termination of appointments for NRSA.
