Proposed Project: National Health Service Corps Scholar Travel 
Worksheet (OMB No. 0915-0278)--Revision

    Clinicians participating in the HRSA National Health Service Corps 
(NHSC) Scholarship Program use the online Travel Request Worksheet to 
request travel funds from the federal government for pre-employment 
interviews at sites on the NHSC's Job Opportunities List.
    The travel approval process is initiated when a scholar notifies 
the NHSC of an impending interview at one or more NHSC-approved 
practice sites. The Travel Request Worksheet is also used to process an 
NHSC scholar's request to be reimbursed for moving expenses after he/
she has successfully been matched to an approved practice site. Upon 
receipt of the Travel Request Worksheet, the NHSC will review and 
approve or disapprove the request and promptly notify the scholar and 
the NHSC logistics contractor regarding travel arrangements and 
authorization of the funding for the site visit or relocation.
    The annual estimate of burden is as follows:
