Student Recruitment Program (GSRP) with the purpose of recruiting
outstanding young scientists to postdoctoral positions at the NCI. The
proposed information collection involves brief online applications
completed by applicants to the full time and summer curriculum
programs. This information is essential to the program to determine the
eligibility and quality of potential selected individuals. The
information is for internal use to make decisions about candidates
invited to visit NCI and interview with scientist as potential
postdoctoral trainees.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 225.
