The current SAMHSA MFP Fellows currently receiving support during their masterâs-level program, doctoral-level training or psychiatric residency will be asked about their experiences in the MFP (from recruitment into the program through their participation in the various activities provided by the Grantees).
The MFP Alumni who participated in the MFP during the time the program was administered by SAMHSA will be asked about their previous experiences as Fellows in the MFP and also about their subsequent involvement and leadership in their professions.
Currently there are 484 burden hours in the OMB inventory. SAMHSA is now requesting 1,260 hours. The increase of 776 hours is due to a program change for the time needed for the current and alumni Fellows to complete the additional survey questions, which are estimated to add 5 minutes to each surveyâs completion time, and the result of including the NITT-MFP-Y and NITT-MFP-AC Fellows (up to 300 current Fellows and up to 780 alumni Fellows) into the respondent pool.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).

(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
