I am looking for information related to the payment of post doc stipends
under the NRSA awards.  According to the guidelines published in the
NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts Vol. 25, No. 31, 9/20/96,  "NRSA
fellows are not considered to be in an employee-employer relationship
with NIH or with the institution in which they are pursuing research
training" and I have confirmed with NIH that these are definitely not to be
considered employees.

How are institutions processing the payment of these stipends?
Through payroll?  Accounts Payable?

Any guidance would be appreciated.
