Abstract: HRSA proposes to collect information in that describes the qualifications of proposed researchers and the description of research participants. This is an important component of ensuring demographic diversity (race, ethnicity, and gender) among research study participants. This allows MCHB to determine to what extent individuals of different backgrounds are participating. Likely respondents are potential applicants to HRSA’s MCHB research and training programs.
