Schools that get NIH money to train doctoral students must report each year. They must say what share of NIH-funded students finish their doctorate, and how long it takes. Schools must also share this information with students who apply.

(a) In general: Every institution that receives an award under this subchapter to train graduate students for doctoral degrees must send an annual report to the Director of NIH. For the graduate students at that institution who are supported by NIH, the report must state (1) what percentage of those admitted students go on to earn a doctoral degree, and (2) for the students who do earn one, the average amount of time between when they started graduate study and when they received the degree. In addition, (3) each institution covered by this subsection must give this same information — for the specific program or programs a student applied to — to every student who applies for a graduate study program there.
