National Institutes of Health
Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment Request; Evaluation of the
Enhancing Diversity of the NIH-Funded Workforce Program (National
Institute of General Medical Sciences)
AGENCY: National Institutes of Health, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 to provide opportunity for public comment on proposed data
collection projects, the National Institute of General Medical Sciences
(NIGMS) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects to be
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval.
DATES: Comments regarding this information collection are best assured
of having their full effect if received within 60 days of the date of
this publication.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To obtain a copy of the data
collection plans and instruments, submit comments in writing, or
request more information on the proposed project, contact: Dr. Alison
Gammie, Director, Division of Training, Workforce Development, and
Diversity, NIGMS, 45 Center Drive, Room 2AS43J, Bethesda, MD 20892, or
call non-toll-free number (301) 496-7301 or Email your request,
including your address to: [email protected]. Formal requests for
additional plans and instruments must be requested in writing.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 requires: written comments and/or suggestions
from the public and affected agencies are invited to address one or
more of the following points: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the function of
the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who
are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology.
Proposed Collection Title: Evaluation of the Enhancing the
Diversity of the NIH-funded Workforce Program Consortium (DPC), 0925-
0747, 06/30/2024, EXTENSION, National Institute of General Medical
Sciences (NIGMS), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: This request is for an
Extension 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. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 11,730.
