SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Information Collection Request Title: Scholarships for Disadvantaged 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.

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.
