Abstract:
This request is for revision and extension of an existing information collection. This information collection includes several changes to the type and amount of information being collected as described below: 1. Updates to Student Scholarship Application and Reference Forms 2. Addition of Student and Mentor Surveys 3. Addition of the Hollings Preparation Program Application and Surveys 4. Graduate Fellowship Program Application and References 5. Addition of Student Opportunities Optional Demographic Data Collection 6. Removal of the Dr. Nancy Foster and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Recruiting, Training, and Research (RTR) Program 7. Revision of the title collection. The NOAA Educational Partnership Program (EPP) collects, evaluates, and assesses student data and information for the purpose of selecting successful candidates, generating internal NOAA reports and articles to demonstrate the success of its program. EPP requires applicants to its student scholarship programs to complete an application for NOAA undergraduate programs. Part of the application package requires references (e.g., academic professors and advisors) to complete a NOAA student scholar reference form in support of the scholarship application. NOAA EPP student scholar alumni are also requested to provide information for NOAA internal tracking purposes. In addition, the collected student data supports NOAA EPP's program performance measures.
