Information Collection Request Title:
The National Health Service Corps
(NHSC) Site Retention Assessment
Questionnaire (OMB No. 0915–xxxx)—
New
Abstract: The National Health Service
Corps (NHSC) provides health
professionals with loan repayment and
scholarships in return for their service
to underserved areas. The NHSC’s
mission is to improve access to primary
care, which is supported by clinicians
who remain in their sites well beyond
their contracted periods of service.
However, many sites are unaware of
their influence and impact on clinician
retention levels. The purpose of this
project is to gather survey information
from administrative officials at NHSCapproved sites that will guide NHSC
initiatives and assist sites in improving
their retention outcomes. The survey
will ask site administrators to rate how
difficult it is to retain clinicians, their
general attitudes about the feasibility of
good retention and awareness of its
principles, their practices’ current
approaches to promoting retention,
ratings on various aspects of their
practices’ organizational culture and

participation and full disclosure.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
