In compliance with Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted to
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and
approval of the information collection listed below.
Proposed Collection Title: Office of Minority Health Research
Coordination Training and Mentor Programs Applications in use with OMB
Control Number 0925-0748, exp., date 2/28/2023 REVISION, National
Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK),
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: In 2000, the National
Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases of the National
Institutes of Health established the Office of Minority Health Research
Coordination to address the burden of diseases and disorders that
disproportionately impact the health of minority populations. One of
the major goals of the office is to build and sustain a pipeline of
researchers from underrepresented populations in the biomedical,
behavioral, clinical, and social sciences, with a focus on NIDDK
mission areas. The office accomplishes this goal by administering a
variety of programs and initiatives to recruit high school through
post-doctoral educational level individuals into OMHRC research
training and mentor programs: The Short-Term Research Experience for
Underrepresented Persons (STEP-UP), the Diversity Summer Research
Training Program (DSRTP) for Undergraduate Students, Network of
Minority Health Research Investigators (NMRI), the NIH/National Medical
Association (NMA) Academic Career Fellow Travel Awards, and the NIH/
National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA) Academic Career Fellow
Travel Awards. Identification of participants to matriculate into the
program and initiatives comes from applications and related forms
hosted through the NIDDK website. The proposed information collection
activity is necessary in order to determine the eligibility and quality
of potential awardees for traineeship in these programs and to evaluate
the effectives of the OMHRC programs in achieving their missions and
goals.
OMB approval is requested for three (3) years. There are no costs
to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 2,559.
