The information collection activity is necessary to determine the eligibility and quality of potential awardees for traineeships and mentorships in the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseasesâ Office of Minority Health Research Coordination programs. This will be a revision of an existing clearance submission that has a current expiration date of 08/31/2023. Since the last revision occurred there have been no major changes made to the program, but the following activities have occurred: For the Network of Minority Health Research Investigators (NMRI) survey an internal data report was created but no changes were proposed based on its findings; For the NMRI Evaluation form this was split into three documents, one for each day of workshop evaluation, but the questions remain the same from the last revision; For the National Medical Association (NMA) and National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA) feedback forms some participant suggestions are incorporated into the NMA Career development workshop.
OMHRC changed the name of Short-Term Research Experience for Underrepresented Persons (STEP-UP) to the Short-Term Research Experience Program to Unlock Potential. The name change was made after guidance received from the Office of General Counsel. However, the goals of the program and the specific application forms and surveys remain the same.
The number of estimated respondents for Attachment #1 Short-Term Research Experience Program to Unlock Potential (STEP-UP) Application and #2 STEP-UP Student Feedback Form in the burden table has decreased by 1,400 and 75 respectively, which has decreased the overall burden hour estimate by 908 hours from 2,557 to 1,649. Subsequently, the overall burden cost to the public has decreased by $8,970. The federal cost, while slightly increased due to a change in the GS scale, has decreased as contractors were not used after the initial creation of the collection instruments in the last revision.
