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.

The NIMHD applications will collect information on race, ethnicity, gender, disability, and socioeconomic status. This will help NIMHD assess the effectiveness of their HDRI, LRP, and other programs in reaching their primary goal of enhancing the diversity of the NIMHD research community, consistent with NIH directives and reporting requests. We are seeking approval to add these fields to the existing data forms for all ICs, who may choose to customize which fields apply to their programs. This information will be used solely to help evaluate the outcomes of programs and identify gaps to be addressed. The new fields are to be included as part of the existing Personal Information, Pre-Training Information, In-Training Information (Mentor/Reference) modules of the trainee data form.
