SUMMARY:
Students Application OMB No. 0915–
0149—Revision.
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
students from disadvantaged
backgrounds who graduate from the
school. In awarding SDS funds to
eligible schools, funding priority 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 for the SDS
application is needed by HRSA to
determine whether applicant schools
meet applicable requirements and
establish priority points for funding.
Applicant schools must complete an
application for each discipline or
program. Data provided includes
numbers of full-time student enrollment
and their racial/ethnicity data, full-time
enrollment by class year of students
from disadvantaged background, full-
time students graduated, full-time
students from disadvantaged
background graduated, and full-time
graduates serving in Medically
Underserved Communities. Numbers of
full-time graduates serving in primary
care must be provided 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.
The SDS program specific form has
been revised to reflect a change in the
order of the fields only. Fields K (Public
or Non Profit Institution) and H (Point
of Contact) have been moved to fields A
and B respectively. Now Field A is
Public or Non Profit Institution and
Field B is Point of Contact. All other
fields remained in sequence and were
renamed in appropriate letter order.
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

SUMMARY:
Information Collection Request Title:
The Division of Independent Review
Grant Reviewer Recruitment Form
OMB No. 0915–0295—Extension.
Abstract: HRSA’s Division of
Independent Review (DIR) is
responsible for administering the review
of eligible grant applications submitted
to HRSA. DIR ensures that the objective
review process is independent, efficient,
effective, economical, and complies
with the applicable statutes, regulations,
and policies. Applications are reviewed
by subject experts knowledgeable in
health and public health disciplines for
which support is requested. Review
findings are advisory to HRSA programs
responsible for making award decisions.
This request continues a web-based
data collection system, the Reviewer
Recruitment Module (RRM), used to
gather critical review participant
information. The RRM uses
standardized categories of information
in drop down menu format for data such
as the following: degree, specialty,
occupation, work setting, and, in select
instances, affiliations with organizations
and institutions that serve special
populations. Other demographic data
may be voluntarily provided by a
potential review participant. HRSA
maintains a roster of approximately
6,000 qualified individuals who are
willing to serve on HRSA objective
review committees.
Review participants may also update
their information electronically. The
RRM is 508 compliant and accessible to
the general public using any of the
commonly used internet browsers via a
link on the HRSA ‘‘Grants’’ internet site
or by keying the RRM URL into their
browser.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA uses the RRM to
collect information from individuals
who are willing to volunteer as objective
review committee participants for the
Agency’s competitive grant and
cooperative agreement funding
opportunities. The RRM provides HRSA
with an effective search and
communication functionality to identify
and contact qualified potential grant
review participants. Expertise is always
the primary determinant in selecting
potential review participants for any
grant review. No participant is required
to provide demographic information to
RRM or obligated to participate if
invited to serve on an objective review
committee.
Likely Respondents: Potential
reviewers with expertise and experience
consistent with the HRSA mission.
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 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
