Health Insurance
If you cannot obtain group health insurance through your institution, or cannot afford the plan that is offered, there is an alternative. The NPA, through its membership in the NAGPS, is able to offer postdocs access to an affordable group health insurance plan. Although the plan is primarily intended for students, it does offer coverage to postdocs who are members of the NPA. Learn more...
