No. The NIDDK has a one person-one slot rule. When a trainee signs a Statement of Appointment form (PHS 2271) and the appointment is confirmed by the NIH, twelve months of funds from the T32 are obligated to support that trainee. If the trainee leaves before twelve months has passed, the remaining funds are reported in the Financial Status Report and returned to the NIDDK. If the trainee leaves before completing three months of training, contact your DK program director.
