§ 57.4110 - What are the requirements for fellowships and the appointment of fellows?

(a) The grantee must complete a statement which documents the appointment of each fellow. To complete this statement the grantee must require the provision of information and documentation of eligibility by each fellow. The statement of appointment must be completed by the beginning of the training period or as soon thereafter as possible if the fellow receives notice of his or her fellowship appointment after the training period has begun. The statement of appointment must include information to document the eligibility of the fellow and certify that there will be compliance with all applicable Public Health Service terms and conditions governing the appointment. The program director must sign the statement on behalf of the grantee, and the fellow must sign it thus certifying the statements are true and complete. The original copy of the statement must be retained by the grantee to be available for program review and financial audit. A copy shall be provided to the fellow for his or her records.

(b) The grantee may not require fellows to perform work which is not an integral part of the geriatric training program, or to perform services which detract from or prolong their training.
