Benefits for NRSA Postdoctoral Fellows

If your funding changes from NRSA to non-NRSA funding (or vice versa), you will need to switch benefits plans. You will be contacted by Penn HR through Workday to determine whether your support will be from NRSA or non-NRSA funds.

If postdoctoral researchers and fellows have additional questions about their benefits, they should contact the following resources for support:

• Penn Employee Solution Center
  The Solution Center can assist with questions related to benefits eligibility, enrollment, and coverage.
