The travel approval process is initiated when a NHSC scholar or S2S participant notifies the NHSC of an impending interview at one or more NHSC-approved practice sites. The Travel Request Worksheet is also used to initiate the relocation process after a NHSC scholar or S2S participant has successfully been matched to an approved practice site in accordance with the PHSA, section 331(c)(3). Upon receipt of the Travel Request Worksheet, the NHSC will review and approve or disapprove the request and promptly notify the scholar or S2S participant, and the NHSC logistics contractor, regarding travel arrangements and authorization of the funding for the site visit or relocation. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: This information will facilitate NHSC scholars and S2S clinicians’ receipt of federal travel funds that are used to visit high-need NHSC sites.
