NIH has recently revised the criteria for determining if someone is from a disadvantaged background. This is really important to NIH and we would appreciate it if you would read this and consider the following before answering the next question.

An individual is considered to be from a disadvantaged background if the answer is yes to two or more questions below (1-7).
1. Were or currently are homeless.
2. Were or currently in the foster care system for any period of time
3. Were eligible for the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program for two or more years
4. Have/had no parent or legal guardian completed a bachelor's degree
5. Were or currently are eligible for Federal Pell grants
6. Received support from the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) as a parent or child
7. Grew up in one of the following areas: a) a U.S. rural area, as designated by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Rural Health Grants Eligibility Analyzer (https://data.hrsa.gov/tools/rural-health), or b) a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services-designated Low-Income and Health Professional Shortage Areas (qualifying zipcodes are included in the file). Only one of the two possibilities in #7 can be used as a criterion for the disadvantaged background definition.
