Information Collection Request Title: National Health Service Corps
Scholar/Students to Service Travel Worksheet, OMB No. 0915-0278--
Extension.
Abstract: Clinicians participating in the HRSA National Health
Service Corps (NHSC) Scholarship Program and the Students to Service
(S2S) Loan Repayment Program (LRP) use the online Travel Request
Worksheet to request and receive travel funds from the federal
government to visit eligible NHSC sites to which they may be assigned
in accordance with the Public Health Service Act, section 331(c)(1).
The travel approval process is initiated when an NHSC Scholar or
S2S participant notifies the NHSC of an impending interview at one or
more NHSC-approved practice sites. The Travel Request Worksheet is also
used to initiate the relocation process after a NHSC Scholar or S2S
participant has successfully been matched to an approved practice site
in accordance with the Public Health Service Act, section 331(c)(3).
Upon receipt of a completed Travel Request Worksheet, the NHSC will
review and approve or disapprove the request and promptly notify the
scholar or S2S participant and the NHSC logistics contractor regarding
travel arrangements and authorization of the funding for the site visit
or relocation.

Need and Proposed Use of the Information: This information will

matched to an approved practice site.
