Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRP) Communications and Outreach Project was initiated to form collaborative outreach relationships with LRP IC-stakeholders and their Communications Officers. The goal of this activity was to combine communications resources, share informational materials, and coordinate messaging strategies and timing to promote the LRPs. The Division of Loan Repayment (DLR) met with each participating IC as well as other Federal Agencies to learn about their successes, and the needs of each participating IC were identified. A comprehensive strategy was designed and, during FY 2014, participating ICs implemented this strategy. The net effect of this collaborative effort was a reversal in the downward trend of applications to the Program and a further enrichment of the LRP application pool. |
