SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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
[[Page 39400]]
Students Program Specific Form in accordance with these updates.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on May 28, 2025,
Vol. 90, No. 101; pp. 22494. There were no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The SDS Program Specific
Form seeks to assist HRSA in assessing applicants for the SDS Program,
which makes 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 to confirm 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.
