Need and Use of Information Collection: These programs offer grants
and traineeships necessary for growing the biomedical researcher
workforce, and the diversity in this workforce. The application forms

benefit most effectively from the programs. NIDA is requesting generic
approval from OMB for application forms to be used by these programs
that will recruit pre-college through post-doctoral underrepresented
individuals and individuals of special populations into the research
programs of the Institute for research training and research
development, for forging mentor/mentee relationships and networking
between newly funded underrepresented researchers and experienced
investigators funded by NIDA; and for a fellowship program to train new
researchers, and support experienced researchers of other nations, in
research to advance the science of HIV and drug use while fostering
multinational research in this disease area. The application forms will
be web-based.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total annualized burden hours
are 426.
