Me still waiting on an institutional response to the NIH reminding universities they can treat NRSA fellows like full employees.
A reminder that grants go to institutions. https://t.co/7FaUu6Fj0e And no, NIH does not tell your institution it can’t treat NRSA recipients as employees and give them access to all of the benefits that normal employees receive.
