[[Page 30780]]

    Need and Use of Information Collection: This request is for a 
Revision of a currently approved collection. The goal of the DPC is to 
address a unique and compelling need identified by NIH, namely to 
enhance the diversity of well-trained biomedical research scientists 
who can successfully compete for NIH research funding and/or otherwise 
contribute to the NIH-funded scientific workforce. The DPC is a 
national collaborative through which awardee institutions, in 
partnership with NIH, aim to enhance diversity in the biomedical 
research workforce through the development, implementation, assessment 
and dissemination of innovative and effective approaches to: (a) 
student outreach, engagement, training, and mentoring, (b) faculty 
development, and (c) institutional research training infrastructure. 
The Coordination and Evaluation Center (CEC) will evaluate the efficacy 
of the training and mentoring approaches implemented across a variety 
of contexts and populations and will disseminate information to the 
broader research community. The planned consortium-wide data collection 
and evaluation will provide comprehensive information about the multi-
dimensional factors (individual, institutional, and faculty/mentor) 
that influence student and faculty success, professional development, 
and persistence within biomedical research career paths across a 
variety of contexts. The planned data collection, and the resulting 
findings, is projected to have a sustained, transformative effect on 
biomedical research training and mentoring nationwide.
    OMB approval is requested for an extension of 13 months beyond the 
currently approved collection, until June 2024, to complete the final 
portions of the approved data collection. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 22,980.
