Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 211 / Thursday, November 1, 2007 / Notices
during the fiscal year, identifying
findings and developing
recommendations to enhance Title VII
Interdisciplinary, Community-Based
Training Grant Programs. The Annual
Report is submitted to the Secretary of
the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, and ranking members
of the Committee on Health, Education,
Labor and Pensions of the Senate, and
the Committee on Energy and
Commerce of the House of
Representatives.
The Department of Health and Human
Services is requesting a total of seven (7)
nominations for voting members of the
ACICBL from schools that have
administered or are currently
administering awards from the
following programs: Area Health
Education Centers (AHECs)—1
nominee, Allied Health—1 nominee,
Geriatric Education and Training
Programs—1 nominee, Health Education
and Training Centers (HETCs)—1
nominee, and Quentin N. Burdick
Program for Rural Interdisciplinary
Training—1 nominee. Nominations are
also requested for two student, resident,
and/or fellow representatives.
Interested individuals may nominate
multiple qualified professionals for
membership to the ACICBL to allow the
Secretary to choose from a highly
qualified list of potential candidates.
Nominees willing to serve as members
of the ACICBL should have no
appearance of a conflict of interest that
would preclude their participation.
Potential candidates will be asked to
provide detailed information concerning
consultancies, research grants, or
contracts to permit an evaluation of
possible sources of conflicts of interest.
In addition, a curriculum vitae and a
statement of interest will be required of
the nominee to support experience
working with Title VII Interdisciplinary,
Community-Based Training Grant
Programs, expertise in the field, and
personal desire in participating on a
National Advisory Committee. Qualified
candidates will be invited to serve a
one-, two-, or three-year term. All
nominations must be received no later
than December 31, 2007.
The legislation governing this
Committee requires a fair balance of
health professionals who represent the
general population with regard to a
broad geographic distribution and an
evenness of urban and rural areas, along
with professionals who are women and
minorities. As such, the pool of
appropriately qualified nominations
should reflect these requirements to the
degree possible.

Revisions to the Program Guidance for
the Training in Primary Care Medicine
and Dentistry Program
Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA), HHS.
ACTION: General notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: HRSA announces a revision
to the program guidance for the Training
in Primary Care Medicine and Dentistry
Program posted on August 23, 2007 on
Grants.gov, https://www.grants.gov. The
guidance includes information for the
following competitive funding
opportunities:
HRSA–08–032 Academic
Administrative Units; HRSA–08–035
Physician Faculty Development; HRSA–
08–037 Predoctoral Training; HRSA–
08–039 Physician Assistant Training;
HRSA–08–042 Residency Training; and
HRSA–08–044 Residency Training in
General and Pediatric Dentistry. This
revision only affects the Physician
Faculty Development program, HRSA–
08–035. A revised guidance has been
posted on Grants.gov. Specifically, the
additional language included in the
guidance is presented below:
Primary Care Clinician Research
Fellowship—This track provides
fellowships that focus on development
of primary care research investigators.
Duration—Fellowships will last 2 to 3
years.
Features—Applications should
include a rigorous research/training
track which is offered at an academic
health science center. Advanced degrees
(e.g., M.P.H., M.P.A.) are a desirable
option. Desirable candidates include
multidisciplinary physician faculty and
fellows. Research areas should be
consistent with the scope and content of
primary care practice and education,
and may include such areas as the
linkage between Healthy People 2010
and health disparities, community and
practice-based research, patient safety,
quality improvement, professionalism,
health literacy, and cultural
competency.
Stipend Level—Enhanced stipend
level is equivalent to National Research
Service Award (NRSA) stipends, which
PO 00000
Frm 00034
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
range from $36,996 for individuals
entering immediately following receipt
of their doctoral degree to $51,036 for
individuals with 7 years or more of
relevant experience and/or training. A
table of stipend levels is provided in
this guidance. Supplementation of the
stipends is allowable and encouraged;
however, the combination of stipend
and supplementation may not exceed
the full-time salary of comparable
multidisciplinary physician faculty at
the applicant’s institution.
Time Requirement—Pro-rated
stipends are not available. For
applicants requesting full stipends, 60
percent of a Fellow’s time for 24- to 36
months of fellowship must be devoted
to formal research training. The
remaining 40 percent of time for a 24 to
36-month fellowship must be spent in
activities consistent with the roles of
academic faculty (clinical practice,
teaching, and/or administration).
