Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request; Training
Tomorrow’s Scientists: Linking
Minorities and Mentors Through the
Web
Summary: Under the provisions of
Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of
Behavioral and Social Sciences
Research (OBSSR), 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. This Proposed information
collection was previously published in
the Federal Register on January 11,
2005, page 1898 and allowed 60-days
for public comment. No public
comments were received. The purpose
of this notice is to allow an additional
30 days for public comment. The
National Institutes of Health may not
conduct or sponsor, and the respondent
is not required to respond to, an
information collection that has been
extended, revised, or implemented on or
after October 1, 1995, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Proposed Collection: Title: Training
Tomorrow’s Scientists: Linking
Minorities and Mentors Through the
Web. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision, OMB control number
0925–0475, Expiration Date 3/31/2005.

This Web site allows federally-funded
researchers supported by any of the 27
Institutes and Centers of the NIH to
submit an electronic form describing his
or her research areas, as well as interests
in mentoring minority students or junior
faculty. The researcher’s description is
posted on the Web site for searching by
interested minority applicants. Minority
students or junior faculty search the
Web site to identify researchers with
whom they would like to work. The
research projects in the database are
located all over the country and involve
cutting edge research activities by
scientists funded through the Institutes
and Centers of the NIH. These research
projects range from studies of children
to research on older adults, from
laboratory research to field research,
from social research to a combination of
biological and behavioral research.
Applicants conduct an electronic search
using categories such as research areas
of interest, desired geographic location
of the researcher, and their level of
education. The primary objective of the
program is to ensure that, in the coming
decades, a concentration of minority
researchers will be available to address
behavioral and social factors important
in improving the public health and
eliminating racial disparities. Increasing
the number of minority scientists in the
U.S. will expand our currently limited
knowledge about the epidemiology and
treatment of diseases in minority
population. Frequency of Response: On
occasion. Affected Public: Individuals or
households. Type of Respondents:
Students, Post-doctorals, Junior Faculty,
and Principal Investigators. The annual
reporting burden is as follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents: 400;
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1; Average Burden Hours
Per Response: 10 minutes; and
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours
Requested: 148. There is no annualized

Request for Comments: Written
comments and/or suggestions from the
public and affected agencies are invited
on 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 metholodogy 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.
Direct Comments to OMB: Written
comments and/or suggestions regarding
the item(s) contained in this notice,
especially regarding the estimated
public burden and associated response
time, should be directed to the: Office
of Management and Budget, Office of
Regulatory Affairs, New Executive
Office Building, Room 10235,
Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk
Officer for NIH. To request more
information on the proposed project or

A Method With Increased Yield for

493,389 filed 06 Aug 2003 (HHS
Reference No. E–301–2003/0–US–01);
PCT Application No. PCT/US04/25477
filed 06 Aug 2004 (HHS Reference No.
E–301–2003/0–PCT–02);
PCT Application No. PCT/US04/26431
filed 06 Aug 2004 (HHS Reference No.
E–301–2003/1–PCT–01).
Licensing Contact: Peter Soukas; 301/
435–4646; soukasp@mail.nih.gov.
Current methods for synthesis and
manufacturing of polysaccharideprotein conjugate vaccines employ
conjugation reactions with low
efficiency (about twenty percent). This
means that up to eighty percent of the
added activated polysaccharide (PS) is
lost. In addition, inclusion of a
chromatographic process for
purification of the conjugates from
unconjugated PS is required.
The present invention utilizes the
characteristic chemical property of
hydrazide groups on one reactant to
react with aldehyde groups or cyanate
esters on the other reactant with an
improved conjugate yield of at least
sixty percent. With this conjugation
efficiency the leftover unconjugated
protein and polysaccharide would not
need to be removed and thus the
purification process of the conjugate
product can be limited to diafiltration to
