This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Zero public comments were received. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The Office of the Director (OD), National Institutes of Health (NIH), may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays ( printed page 51176) a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.
In compliance with Section 3507(a)(l)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, NIH has submitted to the OMB a request for review and approval of the information collection listed below.
Proposed Collection: NIH Office of Intramural Training & Education—Application, Registration, and Alumni Systems, 0925-0299, exp., date, 31-May-2027, REVISION, Office of Intramural Training & Education (OITE), Office of Intramural Research (OIR), Office of the Director (OD), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The Office of Intramural Training & Education (OITE) administers a variety of programs and initiatives to recruit pre-college through post-doctoral educational level individuals into the National Institutes of Health Intramural Research Program (NIH-IRP) to facilitate their development into future biomedical scientists. The proposed information collection is necessary to assess the eligibility and quality of potential awardees for traineeships in these programs.
The OITE collection systems use templates that have features that may be enabled based on that particular program need, this includes the following categories: number of recommendation letters, financial need statement, NIH campus location, etc. In addition, these templates allow for program specific labeling and directions to ensure each collection form is tailored for a specific training program, including but not limited to: Summer Internship Program (SIP), Postbaccalaureate Program (PBP), Graduate Partnerships Program (GPP), Undergraduate Scholarship Program (UGSP), and Fellows Award for Research Excellence (FARE).
The collection forms solicit the following information categories: personal information, eligibility criteria, contact information, university-assigned student identification number, training program selection, scientific discipline interests, educational level, educational history, reference information, resume components, employment history, employment interests, research abstract, personal statement, letters of recommendation, financial aid need, and sensitive data.
Additional collection forms are designed to collect information relevant to on-boarding paperwork, event registrations, offboarding paperwork, interview experience feedback, and training program experience feedback. Sensitive data collected on the applicants: race/ethnicity, sex, relatives at NIH, and recruitment method, are made available only to select OITE staff members or in aggregate form to select NIH offices; no sensitive information is provided to the admission committees for admission consideration.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 14,311.
