Abstract: This is a request for OMB to approve this information collection request for an extension of three years. The request “Generic Clearance for Application Information for Fellowships, Internships, Training Programs, and Specialty Positions” supports the science and research in a multidisciplinary environment at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), a part of the National Institutes of Health. Applicants may possess a variety of degrees including, but not limited to, high school, post-baccalaureate, graduate, postdoctoral, Registered Nurse, and Doctor of Medicine (MD). Potential applicants may apply for cancer-related positions by submitting applications, resumes, curriculum vitae (CV), reference letters, letters of intent and interest, and other related documentation directly to the Divisions, Offices, and Centers. This information is necessary to evaluate the eligibility, merits, and quality of potential candidates and will also assist in matching potential candidates to various training and internship programs, and specialty positions. The information is for internal use to make decisions about candidates invited to visit and attend NCI fellowships, internships, and training opportunities and apply for specialized staff and faculty positions.
