Abstract: This is a revision request that seeks renewal of clearance (OMB NO.: 0925-0568 Expiration: April 30, 2021) for collecting career-related data for trainees funded or co-funded by the Fogarty International Center (FIC), National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), and National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). The data collection system (CareerTrac) provides a streamlined, web-based application permitting principal investigators and their administrators to record career achievement progress by trainee on a voluntary basis.

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: In our last clearance, burden estimates totaled 16,154 hours and an associated cost of $611,160. Our current submission requests approval for 12,705 burden hours and associated costs of $394,946. A large reduction to cost and burden is the withdrawal of NIGMS from the partnership, saving about $240,000. Other reductions to burden include lower costs used for salaries, as our experience shows administrators, not PIs, are responsible for entering the majority of data into the system. The largest increases in burden and cost are mainly driven by the addition of NIDDK and the increase in the average response time from 30 to 40 minutes to accommodate the addition of new programmatic questions. It is our intent to enable each responding principal investigator to answer these questions for multi-trainee grants.
