new policies and allocating or
redirecting significant resources to
support these policies.
FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and
Research, Center for Biologics
Evaluation and Research, Office of the
Commissioner, and any other Centers or
Offices will use this mechanism to test
communications and social and
behavioral methods about regulated
drug products on a variety of subjects
related to consumer, patient, or
healthcare professional perceptions,
beliefs, attitudes, behaviors, and use of
drug and biological products and related
materials including, but not limited to,
social and behavioral research, decisionmaking processes, and communication
and behavioral change strategies.

Annually, FDA projects about 45
social and behavioral studies using the
variety of test methods listed in this
document. FDA is requesting this
burden so as not to restrict the Agency’s
ability to gather information on public
sentiment for its proposals in its
regulatory and communications
programs.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:

Information Collection Request Title:
The Teaching Health Center Graduate
Medical Education (THCGME) Program
Eligible Resident/Fellow FTE Chart,
OMB No. 0915–0367—Extension.
Abstract: The Teaching Health Center
Graduate Medical Education (THCGME)
Program, Section 340H of the Public
Health Service Act, was established by
Section 5508 of Public Law 111–148.
The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (Pub.
L. 115–123) provided continued funding
for the THCGME Program. The
THCGME Program awards payment for
both direct and indirect expenses to
support training for primary care
residents in community-based
ambulatory patient care settings. The
THCGME Program Eligible Resident/
Fellow Full-Time Equivalents (FTE)
Chart, published in the THCGME Notice
of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), is a
means for determining the number of
eligible resident/fellow FTE’s in an
applicant’s primary care residency
program.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: THCGME Program Eligible
ADDRESSES:
PO 00000
Frm 00101
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Resident/Fellow FTE Chart requires
applicants to provide: (a) Data related to
the size and/or growth of the residency
program over previous academic years,
(b) the number of residents enrolled in
the program during the baseline
academic year, and (c) a projection of
the program’s proposed expansion over
the next five academic years. It is
imperative that applicants complete this
chart to quantify the total supported
residents. THCGME funding is used to
support an expanded number of
residents in a residency program, to
establish a new residency training
program, or to maintain filled positions
at existing programs. Utilization of a
chart to gather this important
information has decreased the number
of errors in the eligibility review process
resulting in a more accurate review and
funding process, and comports with the
regulatory requirement imposed by 45
CFR 75.206(a) ‘‘Standard application
requirements, including forms for
applying for HHS financial assistance,
and state plans.’’
Likely Respondents: Teaching Health
Centers applying for THCGME funding
through a THCGME NOFO process,
which may include new applicants and
existing awardees.
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

information to be collected, and (4) the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden.

Information Collection Request Title:
Standardized Work Plan (SWP) Form for
Use with Applications to the Bureau of
Health Workforce (BHW) Research and
Training Grants and Cooperative
Agreements, OMB No. 0906–xxxx–New.
Abstract: BHW requires applicants for
training and research grants and
cooperative agreements to submit a
work plan that describes the timeframes
and deliverables required during the
grant period of performance to address
each of the needs detailed in the
Purpose and Need section of the
application, as required in the Notice of
Funding Opportunity (NOFO)
announcement. Applicants are currently
able to submit work plans in a nonstandardized format.
In order to standardize the data
provided by applicants to make
informed decisions about funding and
assist with monitoring awardee
progress, BHW plans to require
applicants to complete a SWP form in
lieu of submitting a work plan in the
applicant’s own format. Applicants will
use the SWP form when they submit
their proposals, and grantees and Project
Officers will use the SWP information to
assist in monitoring progress once
HRSA makes the awards.
DATES:
PO 00000
Frm 00102
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The information collected
by the SWP form is necessary to
standardize and streamline the data
used by HRSA in reviewing applications
and monitoring awardees. The form will
ask applicants to provide a description
of the activities or steps the recipient
will take to achieve each of the
objectives proposed during to the entire
period of performance. The current
variation in formats and data submitted
by applicants reduces efficiency in
reviewing, awarding, and monitoring
each project, so this change will remedy
that inefficiency. In addition, seeking
OMB approval comports with the
regulatory requirement imposed by 45
CFR 75.206(a), Paperwork clearances.
The proposed SWP form will be used
to provide information to assess
applications for awards including
ranking applications as part of the grant
review process. BHW will also use the
information to assess whether current
recipients of grant funding have met
statutory and programmatic
requirements.
Likely Respondents: Respondents will
be applicants to HRSA’s research and
training programs in BHW.
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
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.
