Short Statement: In our last clearance, burden estimates totaled 16,154 hours and an associated cost of $611,160. Our current submission requests approval for 12,705 burden hours and associated costs of $394,946. A large reduction to cost and burden is the withdrawal of NIGMS from the partnership, saving about $240,000. Other reductions to burden include lower costs used for salaries, as our experience shows administrators, not PIs, are responsible for entering the majority of data into the system. The largest increases in burden and cost are mainly driven by the addition of NIDDK and the increase in the average response time from 30 to 40 minutes to accommodate the addition of new programmatic questions. It is our intent to enable each responding principal investigator to answer these questions for multi-trainee grants.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $394,946
