Need and Use of Information Collection: The Office of Intramural
Training & Education (OITE) administers a variety of programs and
initiatives to recruit pre-college through pre-doctoral educational
level individuals into the National Institutes of Health Intramural
Research Program (NIH-IRP) to facilitate their development into future
biomedical scientists. The proposed information collection is necessary
in order to determine the eligibility and quality of potential awardees
for traineeships in these programs. The applications for admission
consideration solicit information including: Personal information,
ability to meet eligibility criteria, contact information, university-
assigned student identification number, training program selection,
scientific discipline interests, educational history, standardized
examination scores, reference information, resume components,
employment history, employment interests, dissertation research
details, letters of recommendation, financial aid history, sensitive
data, and travel information, as well as feedback questions about
interviews and application submission experiences. Sensitive data
collected on the applicants: race, gender, ethnicity, relatives at NIH,
and recruitment method, are made available only to OITE staff members
or in aggregate form to select NIH offices and are not used by the
admission committees for admission consideration. In addition,
information to monitor trainee placement after departure from NIH is
periodically collected.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 13,858.
