To identify qualified prospective students, the OITE has developed an application that contains the following target areas of assessment: personal information, eligibility criteria, contact information, 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, future networking contact, travel information, as well as feedback questions about interviews and application submission experiences. NIH investigators directly involved in the evaluation of prospective trainees will use information contained in the application.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The reduction in the number of burden hours comes from the following elements that have been implemented since the 2011 clearance approval: o The NIH Academy program was removed from the reporting table because admission is restricted to current trainees of the NIH Postbaccalaureate Program; no applications are accepted from the general public. o The NIH Postdoctorate application is no longer is use; it was therefore removed from the burden table. o Based on the responses from this past year, the response rate for the 'Time to Complete' survey is not 100%, but rather 4% of all applicants. o Based on the responses from this past year, the response rate for the 'Race/Ethnicity/Gender/Birth Year/Disability' survey is not 100%, but rather 25% of all applicants. o In calculating the burden time for the 'Time to Complete', 'Race/Ethnicity/Gender/Birth Year/Disability', and 'GPP Interview Experience' surveys, the following criteria were used: o 1-minute to answer 3-radio button questions; or minimum of 3-minutes for very short surveys with 5 or less radio button questions o Text box fields for open-ended responses were set to 1-minute per text box
