The application asks for personal, professional, educational, and financial information required to determine the applicant’s eligibility to participate in the Nurse Corps LRP. This information collection is used by the Nurse Corps program to make award decisions about Nurse Corps LRP applicants and to monitor a participant’s compliance with the program’s service requirements. The Nurse Corps LRP is requesting an extension and is seeking to use the previously approved forms. Likely Respondents: Professional RNs or APRNs who are interested in participating in the Nurse Corps LRP, and official representatives at their service sites.
