NIH released a notice, ([NOT-OD-25-105](https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-25-105.html)) on May 16, 2025, to supersede [NOT-OD-24-104](https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-24-104.html) and establish stipend levels for fiscal year (FY) 2025 Kirschstein-NRSA awards for undergraduate, predoctoral, and postdoctoral trainees and fellows.

**Important information from the notice:**

The budgetary categories described in this Notice apply only to Kirschstein-NRSA awards made with **FY 2025 funds**. All FY 2025 awards previously issued using [NOT-OD-24-104](https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-24-104.html) will be revised to adjust funding to the FY 2025 levels.

Appointments to institutional training grants that have already been awarded in FY 2025 **must be amended** to reflect the FY 2025 stipend levels once the training grant award has been adjusted by NIH. Amended appointments must be submitted through **xTrain** in the **eRA Commons**.

**Note:** Retroactive adjustments or supplementation of stipends or other budgetary categories with Kirschstein-NRSA funds for awards made prior to **October 1, 2024**, are not permitted.

Please see the full [NIH Notice](https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-25-105.html) for detailed information, including updated stipend and institutional allowance levels.
