Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; Survey of NIGMS Minority
Opportunities in Research (MORE)
Division Institutional Program
Directors
SUMMARY: In compliance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
National Institute of General Medical
Sciences (NIGMS), the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish
periodic summaries of proposed
projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval.
Proposed Collection: Title: Survey of
NIGMS Minority Opportunities in
Research (MORE) Division Institutional
Program Directors. Type of Information
Collection Request: New collection.
Need and Use of Information Collection:
NIGMS provides research and research
training support in the basic biomedical
sciences through a variety of programs
and grant mechanisms. Several of these
programs are targeted toward support of
underrepresented minority students at
various educational levels and research
faculty at minority-serving institutions.
Although significant resources are
dedicated to funding these programs,
there is a lack of quantitative
information on program outcomes. With
this submission, NIGMS seeks to obtain
OMB’s approval to conduct a survey of
the institutional program directors in
the following programs: Minority
Access to Research Careers
Undergraduate Student Training in
Academic Research (U*STAR), Minority
Biomedical Research Support Initiative
for Minority Student Development
(IMSD), and Minority Biomedical
Research Support Research Initiative for
Scientific Enhancement (RISE).
Information collected in the survey will
include data on student enrollment and
highest degree received.
This proposed one-time survey is part
of a larger study that will provide
NIGMS with the high-quality data
needed to evaluate the educational
outcomes and research activity of
students and faculty who are supported
by NIGMS training and research support
programs. Other data will be collected
from existing sources, including grant
records and Medline databases. Taken
together, the data will be used as a
baseline for future assessments, as well
to further develop current programs and
in the creation of proposals for new
initiatives in minority recruitment and
training. These results will be reported
to the National Advisory General
Medical Sciences Council (NAGMSC)
and shared with the community of
NIGMS grantees. The survey is planned
to launch in July 2005 and to be in the
field for two months. Frequency of
Response: Once. Affected Public:
Individuals or households; Not-forprofits. Type of Respondents: Training
grant program directors.
The annual reporting burden is as
follows:
Type and number of respondents

number of responses per

Total Number of Respondents: 150.
Total Number of Responses: 150.

The annualized cost to respondents is
estimated at: $1,650.
There are no capital costs, operating
costs, and/or maintenance costs to
report.
