SUMMARY:
Abstract: The purpose of the
Scholarships for Disadvantaged
Students (SDS) Program is to promote
diversity among health profession
students and practitioners by providing
funds to eligible schools to provide
scholarships to full-time, financially
needy students from disadvantaged
backgrounds enrolled in health
professions and nursing programs.
To qualify for participation in the SDS
program, a school must be carrying out
a program for recruiting and retaining
students from disadvantaged
backgrounds, including students who
are members of racial and ethnic
minority groups (section 737(d)(1)(B) of
the PHS Act). A school must meet the
eligibility criteria to demonstrate that
the program has achieved success based
on the number and/or percentage of
disadvantaged students who graduate
from the school. In awarding SDS funds
to eligible schools, funding points must
be given to schools based on the
proportion of graduate students
practicing in primary care, the
proportion of underrepresented
minority students, and the proportion of
graduates working in medically
underserved communities (section
737(c) of the PHS Act).
Information collected from the SDS
application and SDS report is needed by
the Department to determine whether
applicant schools meet the statutory and
regulatory requirements, to determine
eligibility for program participation, and
to establish priority points for funding.
Applicant schools are requested to
complete an application for each
discipline or program. Data are provided
on numbers of full-time student
enrollment and the applicant schools’
racial/ethnicity data, disadvantaged fulltime enrollment by class year, full-time
students graduated, full-time
disadvantaged students graduated, and
full-time graduates serving in Medically
Underserved Communities. Numbers of
full-time graduates serving in primary
care must be provided only for schools
of medicine, osteopathic medicine,
dentistry, nursing (graduate degree
program), physician assistants, dental
hygiene, and mental and behavioral
health.
Each school will determine the
eligibility of students based on financial
need and whether a student is from a
disadvantaged background.
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
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.

Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment
request: Gulf Long-Term Follow-Up
Study (GuLF STUDY)
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 Environmental
Health Sciences (NIEHS), 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.
Written comments and/or suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
are invited to address 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
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
The quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
Minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
exposures, including participants who
performed various types of clean-uprelated work (‘‘exposed’’) and other who
did not (‘‘unexposed’’ controls). Of the
32,762 enrolled into the Full Cohort,
20,000 have been assigned to the Active
Follow-up Sub-cohort, and 6,000 of
these have been assigned to the
Biomedical Surveillance Sub-cohort.
In order to minimize loss to followup, updated contact information will be
collected yearly for the Full Cohort.
Follow-up questionnaires will be
administered biennially to the Active
Follow-up Sub-cohort to assess changes
in health status and factors that could
confound associations between
exposures and outcomes. A
supplemental mental health
questionnaire will be administered
repeatedly over a 2-year period to a
subset of 4,600 participants in the
Active Follow-up Sub-cohort to assess
mental health trajectories among those
affected by the oil spill and utilization
of mental health services in the Gulf
region. Participants in the Biomedical
Surveillance Sub-cohort will be invited
to take part in a comprehensive
research-based clinical examination.
The clinical exam provides an
opportunity to carry out more
comprehensive clinical testing and
mental health evaluations than could be
completed during the baseline home
visit. The exams will allow for a much
more in-depth assessment of
pulmonary, neurological, and mental
health outcomes that may be associated
with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill
exposures and experiences.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
21,724.

Need and Use of Information
Collection:
The purpose of the GuLF STUDY is to
investigate potential short- and longterm health effects associated with oil
spill clean-up activities and exposures
related to the Deepwater Horizon
disaster, and to create a resource for
additional collaborative research on
focused hypotheses or subgroups.
Exposures range from negligible to
potentially significant; however,
potential long-term human health
consequences are largely unknown due
to insufficient research in this area.
