that they may continue to participate in fulfilling the goal of
equality of educational opportunity in graduate education.
Since OMB's last review and approval of the package, the
application has been updated to include only the program-specific forms
required for this collection. All standard forms that have already been
approved by OMB and are not unique to this information collection, as
well as additional information not directly related to the program-
specific forms associated with this program, have been removed from the
collection.
This collection is being submitted under the Streamlined Clearance
Process for Discretionary Grant Information Collections (1894-0001).
Therefore, the 30-day public comment period notice will be the only
public comment notice published for this information collection.
