Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment
Request; Evaluation of the Enhancing
Diversity of the NIH-Funded Workforce
Program (NIGMS)
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 General Medical
Sciences, 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 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
methodology 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.
To Submit Comments and for Further
Information: To obtain a copy of the
data collection plans and instruments,
submit comments in writing, or request
more information on the proposed
project, contact: Dr. Michael Sesma,
Chief, Postdoctoral Training Branch,

additional plans and instruments must
be requested in writing.
Comment Due Date: Comments
regarding this information collection are
best assured of having their full effect if
received within 60 days of the date of
this publication.
Proposed Collection: Evaluation of the
Enhancing the Diversity of the NIHfunded Workforce Program Consortium
(DPC), National Institute of General
Medical Sciences (NIGMS), National
Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The goal of the DPC is to
address a unique and compelling need
identified by NIH, namely to enhance
the diversity of well-trained biomedical
research scientists who can successfully
compete for NIH research funding and/
or otherwise contribute to the NIHfunded scientific workforce. The DPC is
a national collaborative through which
awardee institutions, in partnership
with NIH, aim to enhance diversity in
the biomedical research workforce
through the development,
implementation, assessment and
dissemination of innovative and
effective approaches to: (a) Student
outreach, engagement, training, and
mentoring, (b) faculty development, and
(c) institutional research training
infrastructure. The Coordination and
Evaluation Center (CEC) will evaluate
the efficacy of the training and
mentoring approaches implemented
across a variety of contexts and
populations and will disseminate
information to the broader research
community. The planned consortiumwide data collection and evaluation will
provide comprehensive information
about the multi-dimensional factors
(individual, institutional, and faculty/
mentor) that influence student and
faculty success, professional
development, and persistence within
biomedical research career paths across
a variety of contexts. The planned data
collection, and the resulting findings, is
projected to have a sustained,
transformative effect on biomedical
research training and mentoring
nationwide.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
70,260.
