Sec. 288a. Visiting Scientist Awards

    (a) The Secretary may make awards (hereafter in this section 
referred to as ``Visiting Scientist Awards'') to outstanding scientists 
who agree to serve as visiting scientists at institutions of 
postsecondary education which have significant enrollments of 
disadvantaged students. Visiting Scientist Awards shall be made by the 
Secretary to enable the faculty and students of such institutions to 
draw upon the special talents of scientists from other institutions for 
the purpose of receiving guidance, advice, and instruction with regard 
to research, teaching, and curriculum development in the biomedical and 
behavioral sciences and such other aspects of these sciences as the 
Secretary shall deem appropriate.
    (b) The amount of each Visiting Scientist Award shall include such 
sum as shall be commensurate with the salary or remuneration which the 
individual receiving the award would have been entitled to receive from 
the institution with which the individual has, or had, a permanent or 
immediately prior affiliation. Eligibility for and terms of Visiting 
Scientist Awards shall be determined in accordance with regulations the 
Secretary shall prescribe.
