Education (OITE), Office of Intramural Research (OIR), Office of the
Director (OD), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The Office of Intramural
Training & Education (OITE) administers a variety of programs and
initiatives to recruit pre-college through post-doctoral educational
level individuals into the National Institutes of Health Intramural
Research Program (NIH-IRP) to facilitate their development into future
biomedical scientists. The proposed information collection is necessary
to assess the eligibility and quality of potential awardees for
traineeships in these programs.
The OITE collection systems use templates that have features that
may be enabled based on that particular program need, this includes the
following categories: number of recommendation letters, financial need
statement, NIH campus location, etc. In addition, these templates allow
for program specific labeling and directions to ensure each collection
form is tailored for a specific training program, including but not
limited to: Summer Internship Program (SIP), Postbaccalaureate Program
(PBP), Graduate Partnerships Program (GPP), Undergraduate Scholarship
Program (UGSP), and Fellows Award for Research Excellence (FARE).
The collection forms solicit the following information categories:
personal information, eligibility criteria, contact information,
university-assigned student identification number, training program
selection, scientific discipline interests, educational level,
educational history, reference information, resume components,
employment history, employment interests, research abstract, personal
statement, letters of recommendation, financial aid need, and sensitive
data.
Additional collection forms are designed to collect information
relevant to on-boarding paperwork, event registrations, offboarding
paperwork, interview experience feedback, and training program
experience feedback. Sensitive data collected on the applicants: race/
ethnicity, sex, relatives at NIH, and recruitment method, are made
available only to select OITE staff members or in aggregate form to
select NIH offices; no sensitive information is provided to the
admission committees for admission consideration.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 14,311.
