The Fellows also will have an opportunity to further develop their understanding of the processes and mechanisms that NIH uses to support, manage, and coordinate research, research training, and communications activities carried out by the agency. The program will help the agency by bringing in highly trained individuals who will contribute their scientific and technical expertise and external, fresh perspectives to national science and engineering programs. Statutory authority: 41 U.S.C. 253 (c) (1), as set forth in FAR 6.302-1. The cited authority is applicable because of the uniqueness of the Fellowship. See Numbered Note 22.
