The payback requirement for *predoc* NRSAs was dropped a year or two ago,
but I believe that the *postdoc* NRSAs still have a payback requirement. 
For example, the postdoc NRSA that I'm on right now has a payback
agreement.  Of course, I could be wrong if there has been a recent policy
change that I'm unaware of, so you'll need to do some checking to find out
what the current status of the payback agreement is for postdocs.  

If you find something new on the NRSA payback agreements for postdocs,
please post it here!  :-)
