The purpose of this change request is
for OMB approval of proposed modifications to accommodate changing
needs of the fellowship program that reflect evolving fellowship
eligibility requirements. Specifically, this change request will
support collection of previously identified data elements from an
estimated 30 new respondents who are nonfederal applicants to PMR/F
in the FMS application module. It will also collect limited new
data elements from those 30 applicants, if they elect to
participate in a PMR/F program designed for fellows who retain
their existing employment in a state, tribal, local, and
territorial (STLT) agency and conduct training-in-place.
