NIH is inviting health professionals engaged in biomedical and behavioral research to apply online for a loan repayment award. The loan repayment programs (LRPs) are a vital component of our nation’s efforts to recruit and retain highly qualified professionals to careers in research.
NIH annually awards loan repayment contracts to approximately 1,600 health professionals with an average award of $52,000. More than 50% of the awards are made to individuals less than 5 years out of school. Approximately 40% of all new applicants are funded and 70% of renewals are funded.
The LRP application cycle is open through December 1. NIH will repay up to $35,000 annually of qualified educational debt for health professionals pursuing careers in one of the five Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs). The programs also provide coverage for Federal and state tax liabilities.
To qualify, applicants must possess a doctoral-level degree, devote an average of 20 hours per week or more to research funded by a non-profit organization, university, or government entity (NIH grant support is not required). Applicants must also have outstanding educational loan debt equal to at least 20% of their institutional base salary and be U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
Please share this e-mail with the researchers in your organization who may benefit from LRP participation.

Dear Amir Shoja,
 
I think I've provided you with enough information.  As an educated adult, you should be able to take it from there and do the rest of the research yourself.  You're making much too much work for me.
 
I get the feeling that you are having trouble understanding what I have written or maybe you simply enjoy arguing.  Your responses seem to have little relevance to what I wrote so I will summarize:
 
1 - I agree that money used to publish the bulletin should be saved.  How much depends on how many members want to receive the publication vs read it online.  Personally, I would enjoy reading the bulletin online.  However, I can understand that some members may be more comfortable with a paper copy.
 
2 - IAMA, like any successful organization, should prioritize building a strong financial reserve over spending for any particular project.  We should be planning for the future, not just today.  Once a reserve has been established, then even more projects can be funded and more charitable work can be done.  It seems as soon as the idea of saving money comes up, everyone starts e-mailing about how to spend the money.  This isn't financially smart.
 
3 - I am in no way involved and never have been involved in running IAMA.  I am simply a member.  I have no role in deciding what is debated or not debated at any meeting.  I don't understand what you mean by "I am sure that no one is in favour of stifling debate through legalism."  But then again, I don't understand most of what you are writing.
 
Anyway, I will conclude my discussion with you and offer you a thought from JFK - Ask not what IAMA can do for you all the time... Ask what you can do for IAMA...

Dear Dr. Ganchi Jr.

As you are so in tune with the law and have a thorough understanding of it,
would you be so kind as to email me the relevant and correct link in regards
to the investment banking by charitable foundations, you sent me the link in
regards to Jeopardizing IRS Exemption.

In your absolute knowledge of the law, would you be so kind as to inform me
on whether the mentioning of your website www.ganchi.com in your mass email
to all of us would be considered free publicity through IAMA for a
commercial activity and in contradiction with section 501(c)(3) charitable
organization information you provided
(http://www.irs.gov/charities/charitable/article/0,,id=123299,00.html)?

Beside that point, what is at stake is the role and the content of our
organization. As 78% of those who voted pointed out, there is a strong
desire to not waste money on paper. I am sure that you have the same
tendencies towards democracy as Dr. Ganchi Sr. and hope you will at the
very least accept a debate in this regard during our coming IAMA meeting. I
am sure that no one is in favour of stifling debate through legalism.

Your point on spell checker is well taken, I will email Yahoo and ask them
to install a multi-langual Dutch, French, English and Persian spellchecker
in order not to overburden your eyes with my typos.


Sincerely yours, Amir Shoja.

I would like to plead with the IAMA Central Board to repeal their decision
to spend 32.000 $ to print a newsletter for IAMA.

It would be cheaper and more efficient to put the magazine online. If a
middle way is to be sought, I propose that members pay an extra contribution
if they want a paper version of the magazine that can be sent to them
post-hoc.

I know at least 4 hard working and productive Iranians physicians who are
living with minimal provisions and doing excellent research. If we avoid
wasting of the half of the 32.000 $, we would be able to give 10 physicians
an allowence of 500$ a month to be repaid once they have a sustainable
income.

I know that the Board of IAMA has vision and guts and would consider my
proposal.

Yours sincerely, Amir Shoja.
