Need and Use of Information
Collection: This is a request for approval
of collection information required by
section 408 of the Indian Child
Protection and Family Violence
Prevention Act, Public Law 101–630,
104 Stat. 4544, 25 U.S.C. 3201–3211.
The IHS is required to compile a list of
all authorized positions within the IHS
where the duties and responsibilities
involve regular contact with, or control
over, Indian children; and to conduct an
investigation of the character of each
individual who is employed, or is being
considered for employment in a
position having regular contact with, or
control over, Indian children. Section
3207(b) of the Indian Child Protection
and Family Violence Prevention Act
was amended by section 814 of S. 3031,
the Native American Laws Technical
Corrections Act of 2000, which requires
that the regulations prescribing the
minimum standards of character ensure
that none of the individuals appointed
to positions involving regular contact
with, or control over Indian children
have been found guilty of, or entered a
plea of nolo contendere or guilty to any
felonious offense, or any of two or more
misdemeanor offenses under Federal,
State, or tribal law involving crimes of
violence; sexual assault, molestation,
exploitation, contact or prostitution;
crimes against persons; or offenses
committed against children. In addition,
42 U.S.C. 13041 requires each agency of
the Federal Government, and every
facility operated by the Federal
Government (or operated under contract
with the Federal Government), that
hires (or contracts for hire) individuals
involved with children under the age of
18 or child care services to assure that
all existing and newly-hired employees
undergo a criminal history background
check. The background is to be initiated
through the personnel program of the

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request; Survey of NIGMS
Minority Opportunities in Research
(MORE) Division Institutional Program
Directors
Summary: Under the provisions of
Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National
Institute of General Medical Sciences
(NIGMS), 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 February 22, 2005, pages
8594–8595 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: Survey of

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. 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. Data on
student enrollment and highest degree
received will be collected from
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). 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.
Frequency of Response: Once. Affected
Public: Individuals or households; Notfor-profits. Type of Respondents:
Training grant program directors.
