Submitting Your Training Grant Forms, Contacting NIAID

<< previous · Advice on Research Training and Career Awards 

You have a few options when it comes to submitting your NRSA forms for appointment, payback, and termination.

Online With xTrain

If you're the PI on a training grant at an institution with an eRA Commons account, you can use xTrain to create and submit appointments, re-appointments, amendments, and terminations.

You may also download and print payback agreements from xTrain, but for postdoc trainees you will need to send us an original, signed agreement. See the next section for more information.

Learn more at xTrain (eRA Commons).

On the Paper Trail

If your institution does not have a Commons account, follow the instructions below.

Appointment Forms and Payback Agreements for Postdoctoral Trainees

For postdoctoral trainees starting their initial appointment on a T32 or T35, you must mail their appointment form and an original, signed payback agreement three months before your budget period end date. Send to:
