Guidance for research administrators on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) childcare reimbursement process was updated in March regarding supplemental funds to defray childcare costs for eligible fellows and trainees funded through Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards (NRSA). The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has adopted the same guidance with the publications of:
- NOT-HS-22-013: AHRQ Announcement of Childcare Costs Allowance for Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Individual Fellows (F32s) (opens in new window)
- NOT-HS-22-014: AHRQ Announcement of Childcare Costs Allowance for Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Research Training Awards (T32) Beginning in FY2022 (opens in new window)
UCSF does not currently have any AHRQ NRSA fellows or trainees. If awarded in the future, the same process that was developed for the NIH NRSA childcare supplements should be followed. Refer to the NIH/AHRQ NRSA Childcare Reimbursement Process guide for instructions on applying for and requesting reimbursement. Support contacts and additional resources are also provided.
