National Health Service Corps
Ambassador Portal OMB No. 0915–
0388—Extension
Abstract: The National Health Service
Corps (NHSC), administered by HRSA,
is committed to improving the health of
the nation’s underserved by uniting
communities in need with caring health
professionals and by supporting
communities’ efforts to build better
systems of care. NHSC programs
provide scholarships and repay
qualifying educational loans for primary
care physicians, dentists, nurse
practitioners, physician assistants,
behavioral health clinicians, and other
primary care clinicians who agree to
practice in Health Professional Shortage
Areas (HPSAs).
The NHSC invites current and former
NHSC participants and individuals
affiliated with academic, clinical, and
other public health related organizations
to participate in the NHSC Ambassador
Program. NHSC Ambassadors provide
professional development, training, and
mentorship to NHSC Corps members
interested in primary care and serving
in a HPSA. NHSC Ambassadors also
educate current and prospective NHSC
participants about the unique or local
characteristics of a particular NHSC site,
HPSA, or region. NHSC Ambassadors
inspire and motivate students and
clinicians to provide primary care in

communities with health professional
shortages.
The NHSC Ambassador Portal serves
as both the application interface for
interested individuals to apply and
become NHSC Ambassadors, as well as
the public-facing online searchable
database of contact information for
Ambassadors. An applicant creates an
Ambassador profile that contains
information such as name, email
address, professional/employment
information (including organization
name and address, or the school
attending), phone number(s),
discipline(s) interested in interacting
with, and a brief reason why he or she
would like to be Ambassador.
Completed applications are forwarded
through the portal to NHSC staff. If
approved, an NHSC Ambassador has the
opportunity to add a brief professional
biography and social network addresses
to his or her profile. Assistance in
completing the application is provided
through prompts via the online portal
and through the NHSC Customer Care
Center, if necessary.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The need and purpose of
this information collection is to provide
a database where interested parties can
search for an NHSC Ambassador to
serve as a local resource who can offer
a unique perspective on providing
health care services as an NHSC
Participant in HPSAs. Based on the
analysis of the Directory since its
creation in 2014, it is estimated that
nearly 600 Ambassadors have the
potential to update their profiles within
1 year. The number of new
Ambassadors was over-estimated at 200
in 2014, whereas recent trends estimate
156 new Ambassadors annually.
Therefore, the estimated increase in
updates by current Ambassadors and
decrease in new Ambassador profiles
results in a net burden hour increase of
6 hours from 2014 to 2017.
Likely Respondents: Current or former
NHSC participants or individuals who
are affiliated with academic, clinical, or

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
other public health related
organizations.
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
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
