Information Collection Request Title: Scholarships for
Disadvantaged Students Program Specific Form, OMB No. 0906-0073--
Revision.
Abstract: HRSA seeks to collect data on the Scholarships for
Disadvantaged Students (SDS) Program Specific Form, which will assist
the agency in making funding decisions for SDS program awards. The SDS
Program Specific Form and another form, the Bureau of Health Workforce
(BHW) Program Specific Data Form, are currently approved under OMB No.
0906-0073 with an expiration date of November 30, 2025. This clearance
is for the approval of one form, the SDS Program Specific Form, and
removal of the BHW Program Specific Data Form. For programmatic
efficiency, HRSA will move the BHW Program Specific Data Form to
another ICR that reports data outcomes post grant award. The
information collection request has been renamed to the ``Scholarships
for Disadvantaged Students Program Specific Form'' in accordance with
these updates.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The SDS Program Specific
Form seeks to assist HRSA in assessing applicants for the SDS Program,
which is to make grant awards to eligible schools to provide
scholarships to full-time, financially needy students from
disadvantaged backgrounds enrolled in health professions programs. To
qualify for participation in the SDS program, a school must carry out a
program in accordance with section 737(d)(1)(B) of the Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 293a(d)(1)(B)). To meet this requirement, a
school must provide data via the SDS Program Specific Form that at
least 20 percent of the school's full-time enrolled students and
graduates are from a disadvantaged background. Additionally, to
successfully make awards, the Secretary of Health and Human Services
shall give priority to eligible entities based on proportions of
students/graduates in accordance with section 737(c) of the Public
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 293a(c)). This form will be used to
collect 3 years of student and participant data from SDS program
applicants and does not include substantive changes.
Likely Respondents: Institutions that apply for SDS program awards.
Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the
information requested. This includes the time needed to review
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for
this ICR are summarized in the table below.

HRSA specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and
utility of the proposed information collection for the proper
performance of the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection burden.
