Agency Information Collection

Activities: Submission for OMB

Review; Comment Request

Periodically, the Health Resources

and Services Administration (HRSA)

publishes abstracts of information

collection requests under review by the

Office of Management and Budget, in

compliance with the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35). To request a copy of the

clearance requests submitted to OMB for

review, call the HRSA Reports

Clearance Office on (301)-443–1129.

The following request has been

submitted to the Office of Management

and Budget for review under the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995:

Proposed Project: Evaluation of the

National Health Service Corps —New—

The National Health Service Corps

(NHSC) was established in 1971 to help

correct the maldistribution of health

care personnel and to improve the

delivery of services in areas with

shortages of health care professionals.

Through the Scholarship and Loan

Repayment Programs the NHSC recruits

health clinicians and places them in

areas designated as health professional

shortage areas.

The evaluation of this program will

include three mail surveys, two directed

at scholarship and loan repayment

program clinicians (physicians, dentists,

physician assistants, nurse practitioners

and nurse midwives), and one directed

at site administrators currently

employing NHSC clinicians. The Survey

of NHSC Alumni (clinicians who began

service on January 1, 1980 and

terminated their service before March

14, 1997) will assess alumni attitudes

about the NHSC experience including

recruitment, placement, and service

contributions to the site and community

(for example, expanding clinical

services, serving in clinical leadership

positions, participating in quality

improvement activities and initiating

community primary care initiatives). In

addition, the survey will examine

various measures of clinician retention

in underserved areas. The Survey of

NHSC Clinicians (current) will also

assess attitudes about the NHSC

experience including recruitment,

placement and service contribution to

the site and community. The Survey of

Administrators in Sites with NHSC

Clinicians will assess sites’ experiences

with NHSC clinicians and will provide

an assessment of their service

contributions to the site and

community. The data collected through

the surveys will be used to formulate

programmatic and policy

recommendations designed to

strengthen the NHSC program and

increase its effectiveness.

The estimated burden is as follows:
