Submission for OMB Review; 30-Day Comment Request Division of
Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) Fellowship Program and Summer
Student Applications (NCI)
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for
review and approval of the information collection listed below. This
proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal
Register on April 9, 2014 (Vol. 79, P. 19632) and allowed 60-days for
public comment. No public comments were received. The purpose of this
notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The
National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health, may not
conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to,
an information collection that has been extended, revised, or
implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number.
Direct Comments to OMB: Written comments and/or suggestions
regarding the item(s) contained in this notice, especially regarding
the estimated public burden and associated response time, should be
directed to the: Office of Management and Budget, Office of Regulatory
Affairs, [email protected] or by fax to 202-395-6974,

Proposed Collection: Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics
(DCEG) Fellowship Program and Summer Student Applications (NCI),
Existing Collection in Use without OMB Control Number, National Cancer
Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The Division of Cancer
Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) Office of Education (OE) administers a
variety of programs and initiatives to recruit pre-college through
post-doctoral educational level individuals into the Intramural
Research Program to facilitate their development into future biomedical
scientists. DCEG trains post-doctoral, doctoral candidates, graduate
and baccalaureate students, through full time fellowships, summer
fellowships, and internships in preparation for research careers in
cancer epidemiology and genetics. The proposed information collection
involves brief online applications completed by applicants to the full
time and the summer fellowship programs. Full-time fellowships include:
Full-time Equivalents (FTE) and non-FTE fellowships for US citizens,
permanent residents and international fellows. These applications are
essential to the administration of these training programs as they
enable OE to determine the eligibility and quality of potential
awardees; to assess their potential as future scientists; to determine
where mutual research interests exist; and to make decisions regarding
which applicants will be proposed and approved for traineeship awards.
In each case, completing the application is voluntary, but in order to
receive due consideration, the prospective trainee is encouraged to
complete all relevant fields. The information is for internal use to
make decisions about prospective fellows and students that could
benefit from the DCEG program.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 175.
