Hello everyone:

Teachers College is trying to establish a new policy for graduate
student funding, but I'm having a difficult time tracking clear NIH
policy guidelines in the areas I need it.  I've been operating on the
following assumptions:

--Policies governing compensation of graduate students paid from
research grants held by individual faculty members (R awards) are the
same as those which govern NRSA and other training grant programs
--Total compensation to graduate students in the form of stipends, funds
for fees/health insurance and tuition may not exceed the total stipend
ceiling for first year post docs as detailed in the current NRSA policy.

Is this correct?  And whether or not it is correct, can anyone direct me
to a CLEAR NIH policy statement on the matter?  I haven't been able to
find anything that does the trick on my own.

Thanks in advance.
