Abstract: The Office of Intramural Training & Education (OITE) administers a variety of programs and initiatives to recruit pre-college through post-doctoral educational level individuals into the National Institutes of Health Intramural Research Program (NIH-IRP) to facilitate develop into future biomedical scientists. To identify qualified prospective students, the OITE has developed an application that contains the following target areas of assessment: personal information, eligibility criteria, contact information, student identification number, training program selection, scientific discipline interests, educational history, standardized examination scores, reference information, resume components, employment history, employment interests, dissertation research details, letters of recommendation, financial aid history, sensitive data, future networking contact, travel information, as well as feedback questions about interviews and application submission experiences. NIH investigators directly involved in the evaluation of prospective trainees will use information contained in the application.

Short Statement: The OITE currently has three clearance approvals to cover applications for admission into our several programs. o 0925-0299 - NIH Intramural Research Training Award, Program Application o 0925-0438 - Undergraduate Scholarship Program (UGSP) o 0925-0501 - Graduate Student Training Program Application Upon careful review of these approvals and online application fields, the OITE concluded there is a substantial overlap of the required fields to determine eligibility and strength of applicants for admission into our programs. In order to minimize applicant confusion and increase efficiency of the office, the OITE wishes to merge these three clearances into one clearance. By merging the OITE Clearances into one submission and removing the time associated with students reviewing already submitted applications the burden hours associated for our clearance decreased from 70,958 hours to 45,322.5 hours
